Rip A Strip!

Youch!! There's no way to quite express the sensation of losing a bunch of hair to a wax strip, which I voluntarily did the other day to help promote awareness about prostate cancer. Now, I doubt I'll get much sympathy from the ladies out there, as many have likely suffered the same during their lifetime, but for the average guy who probably hasn't gone through this process, please consider sharing the experience and doing it for a great cause.
Prostate cancer affects one in seven men and 8 men die of this disease every week in Alberta. The good news is that it has a 95% survival rate when detected early, so gents, see your doctor or drop in to a Man-Van event and get tested. it's a simple blood test and takes all of 5 minutes. The sting of a needle to take your blood, or the shock of losing a few hairs with 'Rip A Strip', is small potatoes compared to the pain you, and your loved ones who care about you, would go through if you had to deal with an advanced case of prostate cancer.
Here's a link to see my bit of pain!
