When you learn that 50 men are diagnosed every day with prostate cancer and that ten men die every day in Australia, you get some idea of the enormity of the disease.
In an effort to make men more aware of this cancer, the Parkes Prostate Cancer Group is having an ‘Awareness’ Charity Golf Day on Saturday, 8th October on the renovated course. The main competition will be a 4 person Ambrose with a maximum handicap of 30. There will also be a longest drive competition for men and women, nearest the pins and a few other surprises.
Parkes Services Club has come to the tee with a sponsorship of $2,000 for the day. “Members of the Parkes Services Club have been very strong supporters of the Parkes Prostate Cancer Group,” said Michael Lynch of the Parkes Prostate Cancer Group (PPCG).
Funds raised on the day will be used to invite prostate cancer specialists to Parkes meetings and will increase the possibilities to have more Prostate Cancer Nurses in our area.
“Men with a history of family cancer must ensure that they are clear of the disease when they turn 40, and all men should visit their doctor when they turn 50,” said Michael.
