WHY: To raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer research, prevention, detection and treatment. According to the Prostate Cancer Foundation, prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in America, affecting one in six men. A man is 35 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer. In 2009, more than 192,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and more than 27,000 men will die from the disease. One new case occurs every 2.7 minutes and a man dies from prostate cancer every 19 minutes.
