I'm saving lives.
Prostate Cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men with over 30,000 diagnosed each year. No other cancer affects more Australian men. In far too many cases, men live with long-lasting impacts on physical and mental wellbeing and often fail to seek help or support. Tragically more than 3,3000 Australian men die from this cancer each year.
Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA), the peak body for prostate cancer, plays a vital role in the fight against this insidious disease.
The goal of PCFA is to create a future where men live with prostate cancer, not die from it. A future where every man diagnosed with the disease has access to a Prostate Cancer Specialist Nurse and where research leads to new treatment options that will ensure our men can live longer and better lives. To learn more about PCFA visit www.pcfa.org.au
Breakthroughs and improvements in treatment of prostate cancer are only possible with the support of people like yourself.
Too many men are at risk. Fundraising through The Long Ride will make an amazing difference in helping PCFA fund life-saving research for the many men affected by prostate cancer before it is too late.
Advancing years and family health issues mean that this will probably be my last Long Ride. I have participated in seven of these rides so far and raised over $8,800 for the PCFA. It would be great if I could crack $10k from my last ride.
The ride starts in Canberra on Sunday May 26th and arrives in Port Douglas on Saturday June 1st. Riders from all over Australia will be participating.
If you would like to sponsor me, donations can either be made through my PCFA fund raising page (https://fundraise.pcfa.org.au/fundraisers/peterschilling/peter-schilling) or by direct deposit to a PCFA account.
