Mark Harrison with Rae Bonney - July 2023

9 MEN DIE FROM PROSTATE CANCER EVERY DAY, here in Australia ....... and there are more than 200,000 living with the diagnosis. CEO of Australian Prostate Cancer Research Centre, Mark Harrison has been leading their charge for the past 9 years and knows, only too well, the challenges in gaining support and recognition for this oftentimes, preventable, MALE EXCLUSIVE disease. The Australian Prostate Centre was established in 2012, initially as a research facility, dedicated to advancing research into treatment and a cure for prostate cancer. In 2014, they opened the doors of the APC clinic and have since treated over 18,000 men, without any Australian Government funding - relying on a small number of dedicated philanthropic supporters and partners to drive the cause. It’s undeniable that the APC’s work is significant and could contribute to so many more lifesaving outcomes, with proper support, validation, investment and recognition from our country’s leaders. Mark’s joined me at the 3WBC studios, to paint a clearer picture around the myths, facts and possibilities relating to prostate cancer here in Australia and around the world. He also spoke about the upcoming activities relating to RULE Prostate Cancer, which was established by the Australian Prostate Centre and the E.J. Whitten Foundation. They joined forces back in 2021 to protect more Aussie Legends in the fight against prostate cancer. https://www.ruleprostatecancer.org.au/ https://www.australianprostatecentre.org.au/ #prostatecancer #menshealth #funding #policy #malesuicide #governmentfunding #mensmentalhealth #erectiledysfunction #incontinence #masculinity Kate Hatton Travis Strong
