Push for Prostate Cancer

I'm doing push-ups this Blue September. Show your support, let's tackle prostate cancer together

This September I've set myself a fundraising challenge to help bring down prostate cancer and support our mates.

Here's the gameplan:

I would like some funding to research my own genetics, which I believe could likely inform beneficial research for men affected by prostate cancer and cancer in general, which may be associated with the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine. I would like to purchase an oxford nanopore to validate my 23andme data, and also take part in a NIH funded clinical trial to investigate my genome (without experimental therapeutics- to reduce confounding variables. I need to minimize the number of moving variables to isolate and hone in on potential mechanisms.) 

I smash out heaps of push-ups throughout the month to inspire you to dig deep towards life-saving research and support.

Let's tackle prostate cancer together. Donate now. Because prostate cancer is killing people in our community. It's the most diagnosed cancer for blokes in NZ.

Your support helps provide support for people affected by a diagnosis. Plus you'll be helping raise awareness so more blokes know to get tested when they need to, along with research into treating and diagnosing prostate cancer.
