We applaud the NFL for raising breast cancer awareness during the month of October by allowing players to wear pink accessories. As prostate cancer is to men what breast cancer is to women (and some men), we ask the NFL to allow light blue items in September for Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. With your help we can raises awareness of prostate cancer, a disease that claims more than 32,000 men’s lives each year and impacts millions of families.
Reaching one thousand signatures confirms that many people see the value in recognizing prostate cancer with the same focus we provide other vital health causes. This milestone acknowledges the families who have walked this path and the necessity of bringing their experiences into the public light.

Watching the signature count rise toward one thousand reminds me how many people understand the importance of this conversation. If each of you sends this link to a single person who values men's health, we will reach that mark and show the league that this request has genuine momentum.

Seeing this momentum grow reminds me how many families are impacted by this disease and are ready to push for change. It is clear that the call for awareness during September resonates with far more people than I initially imagined.

Prostate cancer is serious business. If the league does it for pink they should do it for blue.

Lost my uncle last year to prostate cancer. This would be a great way to honor the men we have lost.
