Purchase the 2010 Calendar

All of the women in the pages of each month have something in common, and it’s not the fact that they are posing in this calendar. At some point, each of these women has been at the side of a loved one who received the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer affects 1 in 6 men today, and, though there has been a tremendous amount of research on the subject, little is known about how to prevent it from occurring. Even with state of the art treatment, the basic fact is that awareness and early detection of the disease are most often the best defense a man can have.

These women come from all walks of life, some never having met until the day they showed up for their turn in front of the camera. They came to stand by their men, to help in whatever way they could. We are hopeful that their efforts — their bravery when facing a sometimes daunting photographer’s lens — will inspire you as well.

Educate yourself, share the information with a friend, spread the word.
