welcome

Thanks to everyone who came out to make this our most successful year yet — over 1,600 people participated in 2008! Results are available, and photographs will be posted soon.

Every year, every three minutes, an American man finds out he has prostate cancer. One in six men has a lifetime risk of prostate cancer. Almost 200,000 men will be diagnosed with the disease and more than 30,000 will die from it.

Prostate cancer is nearly 100 percent survivable if detected early. But there are often no warning signs or symptoms. The only way to detect the disease in its early stages is through a simple blood test (PSA) and a digital rectal exam (DRE). EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES! Talk to your family doctor or call 412-572-6830 about free screening in the Pittsburgh area.
