Face your fear—hold a Talking PC challenge event
Thank you registering to hold a Face your Fear Challenge Event!
It's no secret that men fear the doctor's office, particularly when it comes to getting a prostate check. But if you are male and aged over 40, or have a family history of the disease, you should talk to your GP about regular checks. Like most cancers, prostate cancer is more likely to be successfully treated if it's caught in its early stages.
By facing your fears—like overcoming your fear of heights by climbing the Storey Bridge—you can help raise funds for Talking PC by asking your friends and family to sponsor you in your challenge.
You can help fight the disease that deprives so many families of their fathers.
With one in nine men developing the disease in their life-time, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among Australians after non-melanoma skin cancer. Shockingly, nine men die from prostate cancer every single day. Just imagine how many families will lose fathers, sons, brothers and grandfathers to this terrible disease.
Even though so many men are affected by prostate cancer most men don't talk about it. You can help build awareness and help scientists find new ways to fight the disease by Talking PC.
