Successful PCa event

In Phoenix this weekend we had a 5K event to raise awareness and funds for the AZ Prostate Cancer Coalition. About 150 people participated. With some media coverage we received a wide audience and made our statement for Prostate Cancer Awareness month.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Prostate Cancer Support Group.

Great stuff! With huge U.S. government funding cuts to cancer research, this kind of grass-roots activity is more important than ever.

good for you. Knowledge and discussions about prostate cancer are really important.

Also reach out to your local elected officials. A decade ago when I was mayor of my city, I had a proclamation issued to help raise awareness about prostate cancer. (See attached.)

Each of you might consider reaching out to your local public/elected officials to have a similar proclamation issued to raise awareness in your respective communities.
