We have a major announcement regarding the 2009 event. The Do it for Dad Family Walk & Run is going National and joining the Father's Day Walk/Run for Prostate Cancer.

It is important that you understand why we have joined forces with the National Father's Day event!

A Nationally recognized event will give us a larger profile - we are joining a National collaboration or initiative of bringing prostate cancer into the spotlight, helping to increase both awareness of the disease and increasing an underfunded cancer in terms of research for a cure. In addition it will help to increase awareness of the Prostate Cancer Center in London.

It will allow us to raise more money to support the Prostate Centre in London - Outside of a change in name, nothing about the local event will differ - the majority of money raised will stay local to support programs and services of The Prostate Cancer Center. Participants and donors are helping to fund both local and national research for prostate cancer

A bonus of joining the national partnership is that we will reach a larger audience - With extra sponsorship support and media, we are reaching a much wider audience and able to attract more participants.

It will increase the Prostate Cancer Center's exposure - By joining forces with other prostate cancer groups across the country, this will help situate The Prostate Cancer Center, a local, grass-roots organization, with like-minded organizations across the country, increasing the Center's visibility in supporting a national drive for the cure of prostate cancer.

If you have any questions about the changes, please don't hesitate to contact the committee. We are happy to discuss this in further detail.
