Blue September - facing up to prostate cancer!

Get blue! It's time to face up to prostate cancer!

Every year about close to 600 men in New Zealand die of Prostate Cancer. Fathers, sons, brothers, grandfathers. Gone!

This happens because men don’t talk to their doctor about their prostate or what they need to do to take care of it - this has to change!

Blue September is about getting the word out about prostate cancer and raising money to support ongoing awareness, research and support of sufferers.

 If you paint your face blue, donate money to the Prostate Cancer Foundation or even pass the message on to a man in your life, you will be directly helping to lower the death rate and reduce the suffering from this disease. 
 
The death rate can be halved by:
•    Men taking responsibility for their health
•    Having regular health and prostate checks at least from age 40
•    Early detection! 
•    Early treatment! 
 

You can help.  And you can do something...

•   Register to fundraise

•   Organise an event

•   Donate to the cause
