September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and this year we decided to challenge folks to "Tear A Strip Off" in support of the disease.
Our inaugural “Tear A Strip Off Prostate Cancer" generated great interest with local celebrities including Kelly Hrudy from Hockey Night in Canada, Pat Steinberg from the Fan 960, Bill Brooks from the Calgary Herald and Scott Fee from the Global Morning show as well as our own Dr. Eric Hyndman and several of our valuable volunteers all taking part and donating a strip of hair for the cause.
The act of tearing a strip off shows that a PSA blood test and DRE exams are slightly uncomfortable, but they are very important in the fight against advanced prostate cancer.
The campaign was a great awareness tool and also helped the Centre raise some much needed funds. Click here to see the videos and stay tuned for the 2016 campaign!
