DIY for Prostate Cancer

Be a Poutokomanawa for Tane in your Whanau

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

Here's the gameplan: 

I've created an armchair blanket that I'm donating to raise funds. This is a signature one off item.  It consists of 10 x 10 crochet squares that represent a bed of flowers.  In line with the theme, the primary colour is blue.

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.

Donate now.

BLUE SEPT FUNDRAISER

Sunday 17th Aug

On 24 December 2005 my husband was diagosed with Prostate cancer. In February 2006 he underwent a radical prostatectomy. that gave us a further 16 years together.  Physically he was fine. Mechanically we required aids to provide functionality. Emotionally it scarred his perception of his identity as a man, husband and lover.

Help me to help support other men who go through this debilitating illness.

I'm creating a Blue armchair crochet blanket (similar to the one in this photo). You can win this blanket by purchasing a number between one and forty. Tickets cost $15. The winning number will be the bonus ball drawn out on Wednesday 3 September 2025 (NZ).  The winner will be contacted by phone to organise collection.

Tackle prostate cancer together.
