Before working at Grafik, I knew nothing about prostate cancer. Now after having the privilege of working with our client, the Prostate Cancer Foundation, I have become much more aware of the disease. Knowing what I know now, I’ve taken it upon myself to share this information with the special men in my life, particularly my dad. My dad Bert turned 70 this past Blue September and although he’s in great health for his age, he’s the type of person who isn’t a fan of doctor’s appointments. But with my weekly “Did you know this about prostate cancer?” tidbits, he has agreed to have more regular checkups. It’s a amazing what a little awareness and persistence can do. Okay, may be giving him the “Join the Fight” shirt may have helped a little.
