The Breeze's Putt for Prostate

I'm fundraising for a great cause!

Fitzy here from Canterbury's Breeze, I am embarking on a challenge to help support those living with Prostate Cancer in New Zealand.

13 years ago I lost my uncle to prostate cancer. He battled it for 10 years. So this cause is personal for me. Also I’m a typical kiwi bloke who avoids the doctors and always thinks "she'll be right" but being the Father to an 8 year old son I want to be there for him and set a good example. 

So I have been looking after my health more and reading the stat that we lose 700 men each year has given me a wake up call and the inspiration to do something about it.

I will be down at Jurassic Adventure 239A Opawa Road, Hillsborough on the 20th September from 6am with my co-host Hilary as caddy attempting to putt 700 holes for the 700 men a year that pass away from Prostate Cancer.

The team at NOVUS Glass have come on board and are going to donate a dollar for every hole I make!

Come down and support me on the day and donate to support the cause.

Thank you to my Sponsors

Thank you to The Breeze for highlighting this cause. Our menfolk often leave things unchecked and hopefully your focus on Prostate Cancer will encourage our men to get checked.

My Husband had his prostate removed in 2013 following a wellness check - he had no symptoms & is so lucky that it was caught in time. The hospital staff were brilliant & the follow ups have been excellent. Every man should get a check
