My DAD was 50 when he died of prostate cancer 9 yrs ago. This is the first year I let a handle bar mustache grow in memory of him and because of the look of a handle bar being noticed, hope to bring more awareness to the disease.
In Canada, 20% of funds go to actually trying to find a cure while the rest goes in someones pocket!!
Therefore, I don't make donations to cancer research for that purpose. But, If we all just suck it up and get checked yearly...it just could save many more dads, brothers, husbands, etc. A finger up the rear is better than having your family mourn you. My dad left us 3 boys. I was 29 when he died and my youngest brother was 24. He is a different guy today without DAD.:( We all are. Being the oldest, I kind of took his place. But nobody beats good old dad!!
