|
| Tour de Blue is a charity bicycle ride that benefits the Urology Heath Foundation, a 501 c 3 non-profit dedicated to providing prostate cancer screenings free of charge to men in Alabama that can not afford the tests on their own. The ride is hosted by
Birmingham Bicycle Company located in the Crestline Park neighborhood of Birmingham. The goal of the Tour de Blue bicycle ride is to raise funds to help provide free
prostate cancer screenings to the poorest communities in the state of
Alabama, and to increase awareness of early testing and treatment of
prostate cancer. Since September 2006, the Urology Health Foundation has
screened over 1,400 men in Perry, Wilcox, Marengo, Hale, Sumter, Madison, Dallas,
Butler, Pike and Jefferson counties. If a man tests positive for prostate cancer during
one of the screenings, the Urology Health Foundation helps arrange for his treatment
at no charge to the individual. |
