Call to Arms
Did you know that one in two Australian men will be diagnosed with cancer before you age of 85? Every day 171 men in Australia are diagnosed with cancer. The reality is, it could be your father, your brother, your husband, your son or your best mate.
Call To Arms was launched in Victoria in 2007 with founding partner Essendon Football Club to support team-mate Adam Ramanauskas in his fight against cancer. Players wore yellow armbands in the inaugural Clash for Cancer AFL match against Melbourne Football Club. The match has since become an annual game between the Bombers and the Demons.
South West Strikers are answering the Call To Arms in 2009 on July 11th. We have designated our Premier League matches against Moorebank as our Call To Arms event. All funds raised through Call To Arms go towards helping to prevent cancers in men, finding new treatments and funding support programs for men in need.
While Call To Arms is primarily a chance for local sporting clubs to rally together, many professional clubs, such as co-founders, Essendon Football Club, along with Adelaide Crows, West Tigers, Adelaide United FC and Socceroos star, Tim Cahill, have joined the Cancer Council's 2009 Call To Arms campaign.
For more information on how YOU can participate in Call To Arms 2009, please visit www.calltoarms.com.au.
Thanks for your support in helping to tackle men's cancer.
