Remember, Remember The Men of Movember!

What started out as a simple yet silly bet has turned into a a worldwide event that raises tens of millions of dollars for a very worthy cause.
 What breast cancer is to women, prostate cancer is to men. Over 16% of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer alone this year. Aside from non-melanoma skin cancer, prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men as it is also one of the leading causes of cancer death among them of all races and Hispanic origin populations.This cancer is preventable and definitely curable if caught early enough. More than 2 million men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point are still alive today, but sadly roughly 3% of those diagnosed succumb to its fatally lethal end.
Together we can fight this, and together we shall overcome!
