Kilted To Kick Cancer

That whole "being-out-of-the-loop-for-two-months" thing really threw me off. 

While the month is nearly over, I'd like to call attention to Kilted To Kick Cancer.  This is a campaign started by Motorcop and Happy Medic to promote awareness of male-specific cancers.  With morbidity and mortality rates of these cancer matching that of breast cancer, these gentlemen have been wearing kilts to spread the word.  It's a great campaign, and a great cause.

All too often, we (that is, men) play Russian roulette with our health.  The public safety field seems to be full of caring and compassionate folks who spend their entire careers worrying about the health and safety of our communities, but we frequently don't pay enough attention to our own needs.

So man up, put on your big boy kilt, and go get a cancer screening.  The life you save may very well be your own!
