Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

March 2014 is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, a nation-wide campaign to raise the awareness of a disease that kills one man every hour.  

The Prostate Cancer Charity has now become Prostate Cancer UK and continues to work hard to help more men survive prostate cancer and enjoy a better life. They made this change to raise their voice, raise their game and reach more men. Find out more at http://prostatecanceruk.org
