Today's post from the advanced prostate cancer blog at www.advancedprostat ecancer.net:

Dear President Obama,Prostate cancer will hit one in every six American men. This means that one in every six families will also be affected by prostate cancer. It is the second biggest cancer killer of American men.Sadly, many people don't understand that prostate cancer actually kills so many men. This epidemic strikes hardest in the minority communities where education and awareness is lacking. I ask that during the month of September, Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, you light the White House in blue lights to help all people become aware of this pervasive and potentially fatal disease.Thank you for your consideration. T Nowak, MA, MSWMulti-cancer survivor & Director of Advanced Prostate Cancer & Advocacy Programs, Malecare, Inc.

This is a letter that I wrote a few days ago to President Obama. We have started a grassroots movement to increase awareness of prostate cancer in the United States. In addition to Malecare, many other prostate cancer advocacy organizations have decided to ban together, support the PCRI's grass root movement, and make the request to, “Light the White House Blue during Prostate Cancer Awareness Monthâ€.

Please join us and send an email or posted letter to the White House. Think how great it would be to see pictures of the White House bathed in blue while television and radio commentators help us spread the word about prostate cancer. Think of how many lives you might help to save.

To send an email go to:

Select “Non-policy issue†and “First Family†in the pull down menu. Let’s see if we can put some grass roots into action.
