#prostatecancer kills around 700 NZ men a year. Kristine Hayward lost her husband Bruce prematurely to the disease. Her petition for a population-based testing regime, if implemented, could cut mortality by as much as 50%. If you agree please sign it 🙏 tinyurl.com/petitionkh

If you agree, like Kristine, that our men deserve a prostate cancer early detection programme you've got 7 weeks before the election to lobby your local politicians. #earlydetectionsaveslives #prostatecancernz nzherald.co.nz/nz/kristine-ha…

Let's be clear here. We're simply asking for a pilot programme, in Waitematā and Tairāwhiti, which would give guidance on whether a national screening programme would work, and if so, how it should be delivered and communicated. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350211…

Nice surprise visit from David Seymour yesterday, a great supporter of the Foundation's mahi. A good opportunity to continue conversations from the “Valuing Life” 2-day medicines summit at Parliament earlier this week.
