Last Monday, I launched my campaign for a Ben Cohen 2017 Calendar. Thank-you for spreading the word by social media. Bullying is an important cause to many of us. As I wrote last week I was bullied for being gay as a child.

Why did I launch my campaign for a Ben Cohen 2017 Calendar?

The Ben Cohen Stand Up Foundation was started in 2012 by Rugby World Cup Winner, Ben Cohen, with a mandate "...[to] stand up against bullying regardless of to whom it happens. We support organisations and projects that help stop bullying, help those hurt by bullying and/or help increase equality and diversity."

Funds are partly raised for the Stand Up Foundation through sales of merchandise such as t-shirts and Ben Cohen calendars. There was no 2016 Ben Cohen calendar and I feel that this was a lost opportunity to bring continued awareness to the Stand Up Foundation's anti-bullying work.

Therefore, this week, I have created The Unofficial Ben Cohen 2017 Calendar.

I hope this will send a message of encouragement to The Ben Cohen Stand Up Foundation to produce an official Ben Cohen 2017 calendar.

Let's make this happen!

Thank-you,
