Antony Gormley’s iconic Iron Men sculptures have been joined by a new set of friends who come with a stark message.
North West Cancer Research has today (April 17) launched a campaign highlighting the cancer inequalities in the region. The charity has created six temporary versions of the famous Iron Men whose bodies are emblazoned with stats relating to the shocking rates of five common cancers across the region.
The new additions are in place alongside one of Gormley’s real statues on Crosby Beach looking out to the horizon, standing in solidarity on the path to a cancer-free future. As a region, the North West has significantly higher rates of cancer when compared with the rest of the country.
