Why is Plaid for Dad important?
· We’re working toward a future where no one fears prostate cancer. Funds raised through Plaid for Dad help us do this by funding ground-breaking prostate cancer research that will improve and save lives.
Prostate cancer statistics:
· Most commonly-diagnosed cancer in Canadian men
· 1 in 9 Canadian men will be diagnosed in their lifetime
· 11 men die every day
· The survival rate is close to 100% when detected early, but only about 1 in 4 will survive when it is found late.
