I’m taking on The Long *WALK* to raise $$ and awareness for PC

This September is Prostate Cancer (PC) Awareness Month, and this is my 2nd year alive and I continue to be supported post Prostatectomy.

Unfortunately the prostate removal at the end of Aug 2024 was not 100% successful in making me cancer free and I still have “remnants” of prostate cancer cells that I continue to carry and potentially incubate everyday.  

I am just 1 of 72 men newly diagnosed with PC every day. Can I ask all men (and their loved ones) to make sure that you know where you sit with PC?  Here is the plan.  Go to your GP, get a PSA pathology request, get tested.  One jab.  If anyone argues with you (esp. if you are over 40 and/or have family history) reconsider who is looking after you.

Secondly, the PCFA is a very effective NFP organisation that has helped me with specialist Q&A, counselling and saved many men from making some bad mistakes when at the bottom of the barrel.  Please donate a few beers or wines ($ equivalent!) to help the PCFA keep doing such an essential job that the government does not. It’s easy.  And donations over $2 are tax-deductible so the Govt will have to contribute if you do! Please keep me walking.

PS My fantastic father-in-law (Zoob/Norm Niven) died in July this year of metastatic PC so this is especially real for us this year.  Cheers all.

Thank you. 💙🙏 Act now.
