Taking one for the team or at least my prostate is

   September 24, 2009

The American Cancer Society estimates that one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Could you be one of them? Baptist Hospital is one of 100 hospitals in the nation participating in the da Vinci® Surgery Awareness Initiativeâ„¢ – a prostate cancer awareness initiative in partnership with LIVESTRONGâ„¢, the Lance Armstrong Foundation.

The Baptist Cancer Institute is offering free prostate health screenings today in the Baptist Medical Towers from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Being over 50, I’m a prime target. I’ve agreed to take part to help promote prostate cancer awareness.

WEAR TV 3 celebrities get free clothing. PNJ reporters attend the wet t-shirt and bikini contests for gopensacola.com. I get a prostate exam.
