Orchid's Colin Osborne is the Pride of Britain

Colin Osborne, founder of the Orchid Cancer Appeal, has been named Pride of Britain Fundraiser of the Year.

Colin, a former member of the Men's Health Forum's now defunct executive committee, set up the charity after having testicular cancer himself. The award's sponsors will be featuring Colin prominently this week. He is on GMTV this morning and tonight (Tuesday), at 9pm on ITV on The Pride of Britain Awards 2004 presented by Carol Vorderman from London's Hilton Hotel. There will also be a Daily Mirror feature on him.

Peter Baker, director of the MHF said: 'This is a fantastic achievement for Colin, Orchid and men's health generally.' Well done, Colin. We'll post more news when we have it.
