One for the Boys
I'm too busy to go to the doctor. I can tough it out. Cancer's not something that would happen to me. Sound familiar? It's easy to put your health on the back burner, but catching cancer early gives you the best shot at beating it. Cancer doesn’t discriminate. Old, young, healthy, unhealthy, rich or poor. And though more women get cancer than men, more men are dying from it. We need these numbers reduced. One For The Boys arms men with the facts, the risks and the tools they need to tackle cancer head on. Get involved, check yourself and join us so together we can laugh in cancer’s face.
