Phil
Phil was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 44. As a man, he says that he struggled to find his place and felt isolated, especially after having surgery. At the time, Phil didn’t consider that his discovery of a pea-sized lump could be cancer. So today, he wants to help spread awareness of breast cancer and remove the stigma around men’s experiences with the disease.
“I seize every opportunity to raise awareness of breast cancer in men, wherever I can make an impact. Men are often overlooked in the breast cancer conversation, so I want to shine a light on this part of the cancer community.”
When it comes to clothing, Phil aims for style but always prioritises comfort. “I’m all about re-wearing items I feel good in, and I go through cycles of my favourite clothes. I’m particularly proud to be the first man to collaborate with Fairfax & Favor on their campaign, helping to raise awareness and funds through this special partnership.”
