Big BBQ for prostates
September 20, 2012
TODAY Australian politicians are
hoping to lead by example with a
Prostate Cancer Foundation of
Australia (PCFA) Big Aussie Barbie
event outside Parliament House, to
raise funds and awareness for
prostate cancer.
Launched this month, the PCFA
Big Aussie BBQ initiative is aimed at
raising $800,000 to help advance
research, raise awareness and
provide essential peer support to
men living with prostate cancer and
their families.
During today’s political BBQ, the
PCFA will take the opportunity to
brief Parliamentarians on the latest
prostate cancer awareness figures
detailed in the new report -
Research, Awareness, Support: Ten
Years of Progress in Prostate Cancer.
According to the report, 9 in 10
Australian men say they have been
tested for prostate cancer by the
time they are in their mid 70s and
there has been a 12% increase in
the percentage of men who feel
informed about the disease.
