September 2008, as “Prostate Cancer Awareness Month”

PROCLAMATION

by the

Governor of the State of California

The American Cancer Society predicts that this year alone, more than 185,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer, and nearly 29,000 will die from the disease. Each day, countless physicians and researchers devote themselves to treating patients and finding a cure. Educating the public about the risks and treatment of prostate cancer is one of the strongest tools they have to increase early detection and save lives.

I encourage all men and their families to educate themselves and develop healthy habits to combat prostate cancer. This includes regular screenings, which can lead to early diagnosis and successful treatment. If each Californian makes the effort, then we can all play a part in fighting the effects of this deadly cancer.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim September 2008, as "Prostate Cancer Awareness Month."

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this 12th day of August 2008.

Arnold Schwarzenegger
GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA

Attest:

Debra Bowen
SECRETARY OF STATE
