Father's Day Prost8k

April 15, 2010

Together we will beat cancer!

Did you know that every 5 MINUTES 2 MEN are diagnosed with PROSTATE CANCER?

All proceeds from this event go to fund the 3rd Annual FREE Prostate Cancer Screening Event we (the Oregon Urology Foundation) host with KEZI-9 at Valley River Center in July.

At 2008's event we saw 550 men in 2 days. They received a physical and blood draw FREE of charge. Almost 5% of the men were found to be suspicious for Prostate Cancer. In 2009, we saw a whopping 741 men in just 2 days! About 10% were suspicious for prostate cancer.

Help us catch it before it's too late!

Course:
The 8K event is flat, fast and scenic, starting at the Oregon Urology Institute, looping behind Gateway Mall, crossing over I-5 via the new bike bridge, covering a loop through the surrounding neighborhoods to the west of I-5, crosses back over the bridge and finishes at Gateway Mall. The 5K walk follows the same route; however has an earlier turn-around in the neighborhoods.

2010 Registration is Now Open! - Please visit www.prost8k.org to register now!
