Here is why Chris is raising money: Globally, more than 1.4M men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Movember is working to reduce the number of deaths from prostate cancer, and I want to help them get there. Help me stop men dying too young. For those that may not know, I receive the news in the spring of 2019 that I had prostate cancer. Being diagnosed early was critical and thankfully my Urologist was one of the best in Atlantic Canada and after weighting my options I chose surgery. I am now 4 years free and while I know there is a possibility it may rear its ugly head again, getting regular test is one of the best ways to prevent being caught off guard.
Thank you for supporting our fight to reduce the number of deaths from prostate cancer.
