September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia is asking Australians to get involved and help create awareness and raise the much needed funds to help in the fight against prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer: The facts

• Prostate cancer remains the most common cancer in Australian men, claiming the lives of nine men every single day.
• Nearly 17,000 men will be diagnosed this year.
• Many of these men will experience anxiety and depression as a result of their cancer, facing a 70% increased risk of suicide death.
• Men often suffer in silence – 72% do not reach out for help with what they are going through.

Promoting Prostate Cancer Awareness Month allows vital funds to be raised for lifesaving research, awareness, and support programs.

Get involved by learning about support groups and programs available as well as events you can be a part of through Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

Be a part of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month this September by:

• Volunteering with the foundation
• Donating
• Raising awareness on social media
