| Urology Centers of Alabama, Birmingham Bicycle Company and ABC33/40 are promoting prostate cancer awareness and the importance of early detection by sponsoring a cycling event, the Tour de Blue on Saturday May 30th, 2009. All proceeds from the ride will go to the Urology Health Foundation a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization and your donation is tax deductible.
We hope to encourage men 45 years of age and older to have yearly examinations. If men have a family history of prostate cancer or are African American they should start their screenings at age 40. Prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in men second to skin cancer. One in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime. One in 4 African American men will be diagnosed. It only takes 10 minutes to perform the proper examinations and it could save a man’s life. |
