Light a Blue Bulb on Monday Night, November 21, 2011.

About

Men’s Health Night began as a project of the national men’s cancer survivor nonprofit, Malecare.  We are launching this project, with the hope that all individuals, families and organizations will take this idea, this one night for all of us, ever so briefly, to think about ourselves and the men in our lives.

I'm a survivor of Prostate Cancer, surgery June 2009. I'm lucky I had the surgery as it was a Stage 3 Tumor. Get that PSA Test done! Rick
We had our blue light on for November 21st. And we have decided to keep it on always. My father passed away from prostate cancer in August of 2009. So much more needs to be done to raise awareness for this terrible killer. Our men are so important, we need to keep the fight going to make all aware.
We miss him very much. The fight against prostate cancer goes on. This picture, above, is with his 4th grandchild, now there are 6! I will keep fighting to turn things BLUE!!!
Here's to the inaugural National Men's Health Night! Together, bulb by bulb, we can emphasize the importance to men taking care of their health and make an important difference for millions of families! Dan Zenka, Prostate Cancer Foundation, Currently in treatment for advanced PCa www.mynewyorkminute.org
My husband Bill who has been struggling with prostate cancer since 2006. He has failed all treatments in spite of the determination of his oncologist and his own courage. My admiration & love for him are boundless.

Bob Norman, was a singer/song-writer and a loving husband, father, and friend. He was diagnosed in 1999 at age 52 with prostate cancer and he died May 4, 2008. We miss him terribly. If he hadn't forgotten to get a PSA test in 1998, he'd still be with us. Get your PSA tested, guys!
Both of our front windows have blue candles glowing. Facebook has been posted with picture of our lights and the comment our blue window candles are glowing tonight to bring awareness to the importance of testing for prostate cancer. Gentlemen get those tests done, it can save you life.
In support of good health.
William H. ("Bill") Cooner, MD, was a scholar, a gentleman, a urologist who truly cared for his patients, and the man who taught the urology community to carry out prostate biopsies under ultrasound guidance.
My husband Richard lost his fight with prostate cancer in February 2010 at age 59. We all miss him so much. We will keep the night blue to honor him and to fight against this disease for all men.
Support Men's Health Night. We need you so we can live.
The light was at our front door. We made a statement. The whole neighborhood could see it.

Where should I light my blue bulb?

Keep your light on a table, near a window, by a photo of a family member or anywhere that has some meaning for you.
Blue lampshades are ok, too.

Get a blue bulb at your local hardware store or online at homedepot.com or amazon.com
