Doesnt matter what club is contacted. All clubs should do it as a pre requisite anyway.

When I spoke to the boss of the Cancer Council yesterday he said he had spoken to Peter Goers and he was looking at writing his article about local footy clubs supporting the cancer council.
Good be GOOD publicity for sport for once!!

This promotes the awareness more so for men and prostate cancer as well as the bombers bloke with the nut cancer. Correct me if im wrong. It doesnt matter what form it is supporting but you do hear more about womens cancer and the like than what you do mens?

It puts awareness into footy clubs where most blokes are too proud to go to the dr

There is nothing wrong with dropping the strides and getting the doc to explore if it means getting a hold of the pronlem before it arises. A mate of mine got his nut looked at in the end he had cancer and had his agget removed. Doc said he should have come in sooner.
Blokes need to remember getting your plums or starfish looked at does not mean being embarresed or what they are trying to legalise in california.
Just be wary if this confusius saying is put up in a dentist.
Confusis say man who puts his tool in other mans mouth is not necessarily a dentist.

Sorry for my ignorance. Maybe I live under a rock. But this call to arms is about wearing the yellow arm bands??? correct. Do you contact the cancer council to be involved?? Would like to get the club involved as during cricket season I try to get the blokes from the club to do Movember to help raise money for mens cancer.

Yeah mate thats what the deal is. The AFL (essendon) had yellow cuffs on the arms on the guernsey. But I have seen clubs just wear yellow bands

I googled Call to Arms for Mens Cancer and it will give you a link to the site where you can sign your club up. Not sure if it costs anything though.
