It may have been a night for blokes, but that didn’t mean there weren’t a few women around. And one of them had a very important story to tell …<\/p>\n

The \u2018It\u2019s A Bloke Thing\u2019 men’s health roadshow rolled into Kingaroy on Tuesday evening and set up shop out back at Sunshine Mitre 10.<\/p>\n

One of the guest speakers addressing the shed full of men was Bonnie Teschner, from Oakey, who shared her moving story of a “woman’s journey with prostate cancer”.<\/p>\n

Bonnie’s husband Howard died of cancer at age 53, four years after being diagnosed.<\/p>\n

Howard had ignored the \u00a0minor symptoms that indicated something might be wrong; Bonnie hopes that speaking at events like Tuesday night’s roadshow will raise awareness and inspire other men to get a check-up.<\/p>\n

Associate Professor Craig Allingham spoke about the major men’s health issues: heart disease, prostate cancer, mental health and diabetes, and explained that even simple lifestyle changes can reduce risk.<\/p>\n

The roadshow has been travelling across the Darling Downs, South Burnett and South West Queensland for the past two months.<\/p>\n

Mitre 10 provided free drinks and a barbecue, and there was also the opportunity to meet former Origin rugby league player Kerry Boustead.<\/p>\n

Boustead played on the wing for Queensland in the very first State of Origin match in 1980.<\/p>\n

He also represented Australia, playing in the famous 1982 Invincibles Kangaroo tour of Great Britain and France.<\/p>\n

Boustead played NSWRL football with Eastern Suburbs, Manly-Warringah and North Sydney.<\/p>\n
