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.
