The motion

That the Parliament notes that prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Scottish men, with 2,700 diagnoses every year and 19,000 Scots currently living with the disease; welcomes the recent launch of The Prostate Cancer Charity Scotland and wishes the charity, its 40 trained volunteers and seven support groups every success in striving for a Scotland where life is no longer limited by prostate cancer; further welcomes news that Prostate Cancer Awareness Month (PCAM) is to take place during March 2011, and gets behind the aims and activities of PCAM to ensure that, come April 2011, an ever increasing number of Scots are able to declare “I'm Aware.”
