The Father’s Day Run is a powerful way to raise awareness and funds in the fight against prostate cancer -from helping people facing the disease in your community to ensuring this cancer is a thing of the past for future generations.The Father’s Day Run (and in past the Do It For Dad Walk/Run) is an annual event held in several communities across B.C.
=0D=0A=The Run offers an opportunity to honour the prostate cancer survivors in your life, promote awareness of the number one cancer for men, and raise money to help find a cure. There are many ways to get involved including donations, volunteering, participating and more. The money raised from the Victoria walk/run goes to The Prostate Centre in Victoria. The Prostate Centre provides advice, education and support for men and families on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands who are dealing with prostate cancer or other prostate health issues, as well as sponsoring local research projects related to prostate cancer treatment and care.
=0D=0A=Through activities and programs we improve public awareness about prostate health and prostate cancer. Through collaborations with other organizations, support groups, and medical professionals, we strive to enhance the quality of support for local men, and initiate and fund research programs that seek a cure for prostate cancer. www.doingitfordad.org
