[Hopespringpcsg] MOVEMBER - FOR THE MEN IN YOUR LIFE

[Glen Tolhurst]

Hello all members of the Hopespring Prostate Support Group:

 

The note below is being sent to you to remind you and the people you know
about Movember. 

Please feel free to pass it onto others to spread the word about Movember
and PCa awareness.

 

Movember is the month formerly known as November.

MO is Auzzie slang for Moustache.

Movember is the time for the "men in your life" to grow a moustache to raise
funds to promote Prostate Cancer Awareness, Education, Survivourship, and
Research. 

Who  are "the men in your life"?

- spouse/ significant other/ life partner

- son / father / grandfather

- brother / uncle

- co-workers / friends / acquaintances

- for men - look in the mirror

 

As someone who was diagnosed with early stage Prostate Cancer (PCa),
treated, and is optimistic about becoming a survivor, I believe that the
"men in your life" should be encouraged to have a PSA test. PSA tests should
start at age 40 to establish a baseline & at age 50 begin annual monitoring.
As a member of 3 different Prostate Support Groups, I have met men who were
diagnosed too late and had metastasized PCa.

 

So, have the "men in your life"  go to  the Movember web site,
http://ca.movember.com , and either sign up to register, start a team, or to
join my team-click "donate " tab and then click tab "to a team" and after
"find team" appears, enter glensgaggle and make a donation (over $20 gets a
tax receipt) and as a "Mo Bro" grow a moustache. Donations from "Mo Sistas"
also appreciated. 

 

For information about PCa, go to www.prostatecancer.ca 

 

Thank you and take care,
