Why Prostate Cancer?
It's a Man thing.
We
want to support men's issues in a proactive way, not wait until we have
had a personal experience with prostate cancer. Dealing with Prostate
Cancer is about men facing up to their responsibilities. Our trip,
similarly, is about facing the unknown and showing that it can be
overcome. That which can be seen as a huge challenge can be overcome by
facing up to it head on, accepting the challenge, and using a carefully
planned and organised approach. We want to encourage Men to face up to
their responsibilities, because the issues exist.
Only a few generations ago people were dying from things that today we
scoff at as a minor discomfort, or are vaccinated against in childhood.
Who would have thought that a vaccine against the causes of cervical
cancer would have been available back then?
These
breakthroughs are only possible by
research, and to research you need
money. For a cause to get enough
money to work effectively toward a
cure or breakthrough, it has to be
popular, in the news, on peoples
list. That's why, in riding our
bikes around the world, awareness of
Prostate Cancer is as important, if
not more important, than the funds
raised. That's where we need the
most help...
