Men urged to take part

Men’s parts are in the spotlight.
It’s National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and all men are being encouraged to get their parts checked and head to the Hallam Truck Centre to donate to the cause.
PACCAR Parts is on the prevention highway and hopes to donate $50,000 to prostate cancer research by the end of October.
The Parts for Parts campaign wants truckies and all men in sedentary jobs to get to the Hallam Truck Centre to buy PACCAR Parts to help reach the goal.
As part of the awareness month, a portion of the profits from selected PACCAR Parts products will go directly to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia (PCFA) along with any donations made in store.
More than 3000 men die of prostate cancer every year, making it one of the deadliest cancers in Australia.
PACCAR Parts Sales and Marketing Services Manager Marian Dekker knows how difficult life on the road can be.
“Our truckies are responsible for keeping this country moving, however all that time on the road can be detrimental to their health,” she said.
“We want to encourage Aussie truckies to look out for their wellbeing and take steps towards reducing their prostate cancer risk factors – that means living a healthier lifestyle, moving more and improving their diet.”
The PCFA encourages all men to consider their overall health and lifestyle, which may affect the risk of prostate cancer.
