Pints for Prostate tonight at Walkerville in Windsor
Via The Windsor Star –
Tonight is Pints for Prostate, a $15 event at Walkerville Brewery. You’d probably enjoy sampling their two current brews, which I’m told are excellent. A limited number of tickets are still available at the door. Live entertainment by Super Natural. ticket info at 519-253-3191, ext. 58506#
If you can’t get in, leave a cheque or drop a $20 or three on the organizers.
Why donate? Because nearly every day a man in Essex County is diagnosed with prostate cancer, and the treatment choices in this region are severely limited. More than half will be forced to travel to London, Toronto or even Detroit to obtain robotic keyhole surgery that will leave them with a decent quality of life afterward.
Don’t think it can’t happen to you: nearly one man is diagnosed in Windsor-Essex every single day.
The incidence of both prostate and urinary bladder cancer in the Erie-St. Clair region (Windsor, Essex, Chatham-Kent, Lambton). has increased steadily from 680 diagnosed cases in 2009 and is expected to reach a projected 965 cases in 2015.
