AFL TASMANIA Supports the Cancer Council of Tasmania - Visit the ManVan<br />

The Cancer Council of Tasmania, in partnership<br />

with the Prostate Cancer Foundation of<br />

Australia, are running a Men’s Health and<br />

Cancers project, which aims to change the<br />

way men approach their health. In 2006, 487<br />

Tasmanian men were diagnosed with prostate<br />

cancer in Tasmania. In that same year, 73<br />

Tasmanian men died following a prostate<br />

cancer diagnosis. 1 in 2 men will be diagnosed<br />

with cancer by the age of 85.<br />

Part of the Men’s Health and Cancers Project<br />

is the ManVan. The ManVan will be at West<br />

Park today during the Burnie Vs Glenorchy<br />

game. Trained staff and volunteers will provide<br />

information on prevention, early detection,<br />

treatment and survival of men’s cancer.<br />

We are asking men to step up and `Be a man.<br />

Ask the van.’ They will also have information on<br />

ways to make smart lifestyle choices.<br />

While the ManVan will tour the State regularly as<br />

a matter of course, it is also available on request,<br />

and it’s hoped male-dominated workplaces in<br />

particular will step up and take the initiative to<br />

arrange a visit from the ManVan.<br />
