With the theme being Men Fit For Purpose and the focus on hope and resilience, I thought to introduce the content with a playlist. How about Let’s Hear It For The Boy by Deniece Williams as we applaud our Super Survivor, David Knipe.

As we gym and think about what to eat, an all-time favourite is Cry to Me by Kilotile. Not Rum and Coca Cola. Listen to Gasoline by Måneskin or Sharks by Imagine Dragons as you learn how to deal with the financial toxicities of healthcare. 

I looked at truth and dares in oncology, so Shake a Tail Feather by The Overtones and I’m a Keeper by The Band Perry.

For your sexual health, start with Shut Up and Dance by Walk The Moon followed by Shut Up and Kiss me by Reece Mastin, which will lead to Such A Night by Dr. John and You Make My Dreams by Daryl Hall  and John Oates.

As hope is the expectation of achieving a positive future and resilience is the ability to bounce back from adversity and adapt to change, let’s listen to I Wish by Joel Carry and some Whitney Houston and most of all enjoy and bop a bit.

With the theme Men Fit For Purpose, the first prime example is Donald Stewart who has been living with multiple myeloma for 25 years. On five occasions he has been told there is nothing more that can be done; yet he is still here. Read Twenty-five years of grace.
