Prostate Cancer Support Group Update
GO DRY JULY PROJECT
This was a resounding success, and we want to thank everyone who supported us in this project. Your interest in what we were fundraising for struck a note with so many people. We abstained from all forms of alcohol from 01 July through to early August and many recognised that challenge by donating a total of $3039:00 to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. It is so easy just to say the word thank you, but we want you all to know that your donations are just so valuable as we work with the Prostate Cancer Foundation to support those people that are challenged by cancer.

Your support is all the more valuable as we do not have the backing of any government funding for our endeavours, we have to rely on donations, sponsorships, bequests from estates, and everyday human kindness. However, you may rest assured we are working hard to have that changed.

The Kris Hayward petition to Parliament is all about pressing the government for a funded prostate cancer screening program for the men of New Zealand, just as the women have for breast cancer, particularly as we lose more men annually from the ravages of prostate cancer than the ladies lose from breast cancer. It is NOT about keeping a score on losses, it is about saving every person we can – every loss affects families, relationships, and communities. Such a situation is just not fair. We are committed to seeing a positive change made. Anyone over the age of 18 can sign the petition online and below is the link that will take you to the form. Please ask all of your friends to sign as well; we want an avalanche of signatures in support of us in this campaign. Think about his fact – 1 in 8 men will be affected by prostate cancer in their lifetime – it could be your brother, uncle, nephew, father, grandfather, and yet it need not be so. We recognise not everyone can be saved, but every man we lose has a direct effect on a family and their local community. Here is the link, please help us to help you.

We are survivors and will strive to see that change takes place – in that way we can say thank you for the life we have been given after prostate cancer. Want to know more about prostate cancer? Just call Ron Greenwood on 027 276 0336 or email him at cambridge@prostate.org.nz and he will be pleased to hear from you and point you in the right direction.

PIZZA & PRIZES To Support Blue

Our Cambridge Support Group are running an entertaining evening to support the Prostate Cancer Foundation on Thursday, 18th of August @ 5.30pm. The venue is ONYX Café & Bar (Upstairs) 70 Alpha Street, Cambridge.

Tickets are just $25.00 with pizza provided and a subsidised cash bar is available. Matt Hicks will be running a series of quiz sessions and raffles will be offered for purchase and drawn on the night. Come along and help us to raise a few dollars for prostate cancer and enjoy a night out. Tickets are available from ONYX, or you may email Ron Greenwood at cambridge@prostate.org.nz

Kind regards and best wishes to all our supporters.
