MESSAGE #2
IN FEBRUARY, I’M PLAYING HOCKEY AGAINST PROSTATE CANCER! We all know someone who is affected by prostate cancer since it is the most common male cancer. This is why I am taking part in the campaign “Les Soirées du Hockey PROCURE” this February. My goal is not only to raise funds for this Quebec organization that has existed for 20 years, but also to make those around me aware of the free support services that PROCURE offers to men and families affected by the disease, 7 days a week. Thank you for supporting me in my efforts by donating to: insert your team page link. Together, we can win against the disease!
