DIY for Prostate Cancer 2026

739 Stops for Blue September

This September, I'm counting the passenger stops I make along the way and setting myself a slightly unusual target: 739 stops for Blue September.

Why 739? This number represents the number of men who die from prostate cancer in New Zealand in an average year.

Through this page I'm hoping to raise $739 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation NZ, helping fund research, support for people affected by prostate cancer, and awareness that encourages men to get checked.

I'll be keeping track of every stop in my logbook and sharing a few glimpses from the road as the number climbs.

739 stops. One month. One reason.

If you'd like to support me along the way, I'd be very grateful. 💙
