MEN’S HEALTH ROUND 2024

This weekend the Western Football Netball League will be raising awareness of men’s health with a special E.J. Whitten Foundation/RULE Prostate Cancer Round.

Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in Australian men. With over 24,000 men diagnosed each year. Sadly, it is the second highest cause of cancer related deaths in Australian men.

With education & awareness encouraging regular testing, found early enough, with the right treatment and care, prostate cancer doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Australian men, our Aussie Legends can be protected.

RULE Prostate Cancer was established by the Australian Prostate Centre and the E.J. Whitten Foundation joining forces together to protect more Aussie Legends in the fight against prostate cancer.

The E.J. Whitten Foundation was established in 1995 in honour of the great Ted Whitten Senior. With their annual E.J. Whitten Legends Game and numerous awareness programs, the Foundation has raised over $15 million for men’s health.

The Australian Prostate Centre began as a research facility in 2012, collaborating with institutions around the world to advance the treatment of prostate cancer. In 2014, they opened the doors to their North Melbourne clinic based in Melbourne’s biomedical precinct. Since then, they have successfully treated over 30,000 men.

Through RULE Prostate Cancer, the two organisations will be able to turbo charge their ability to achieve their shared purpose.

This weekend as part of the WFNL’s Men’s Health Round, a player from each TIV Division 1 and Division 2 senior men’s team will be presented with a best on ground medal.
