More people die of prostate cancer now than breast cancer. This has been true since the 90s. Funding research makes a difference. Bless you and your work, James.

Thanks for this ! It's not 'work' so much . More of a passion, really. Giving, I think pleases me more than the recipients. Either way , helping others is a blast for me . It's needed and so rewarding. Like the kids at elementary schools in the Philippines - some have never tased Ice cream , if you could imagine. Imagine the looks on their faces when a guy says to the ice cream man "one ice cream Sir for the whole school , and dont forget about the teachers please ! " . Gosh the looks on these kids faces . It's like Christmas for them. Priceless ! I talk to the kids , tell them the importance of English , listening to parents, and studying/school . It seems they focus on each word ! I must look strange to them 🙂 They ask me how I became so "rich". I tell them being rich means you have lots of friends, your health is good , and you smile a lot - just like you guys at school here ! They smile , and show me their text books !( some are the same when I studied there ! ) ....all in a life time . God Bless

@gently -- respectfully, you're just flat wrong that prostate cancer kills more people than breast cancer. I respectfully suggest you're getting bad information.
Here's some links you might be interested in:

But I did see that in the UK prostate cancer has edged out (just barely) total deaths over breast cancer in 2018 in the UK, but certainly not "since the 90's".
