Men's Health - Prostate Cancer
Good afternoon Neighbourly subscribers. I want to draw your attention to the disease of prostate cancer and the value of having a plan to protect yourselves from an unwanted surprise. I am speaking as a survivor of this disease which on average kills 650 men in New Zealand every year and that is a waste - that's right, nearly 2 men every day will perish and I would like to do something about it.
MEN: Let's talk with you first - if you are 50 years of age and don't have a plan to keep yourself tested and free from having a nasty surprise land upon you, the time is right now for you to visit your GP and arrange for a testing program to be established. You owe it to yourself, your family, and your work - don't be one of the 3500 to suddenly find themselves with the "bug". get on the front foot and start developing a simple plan with your GP, you will be so pleased you made that step forward. I have attached a notice for a public meeting on Wednesday, 26th May (next week) to be held in "The Woolshed" at Te Awa Lifecare Village, 1866 Cambridge Road, Cambridge @ 7.00pm.
LADIES: if your partner doesn't have a plan in place to fight prostate cancer should the "bug" arrive, right now is the time for you to rope him in and come with you to an evening with Dr. Shane Reti next week. Details are set out in a flyer attached to this letter. Don't delay as prostate cancer is the enemy of the male species and our nation cannot afford to lose 13 good men every week of the year when the chances of survival are greatly enhanced by agreeing a plan of monitoring your partner's health. Read the fact sheet I have attached to this noticeboard and if you have any queries please give me a call - 027 293 9632. The "bug" visited me, but I had a plan and today I am a survivor of a grade 4 cancer and I am committed to helping as many males as I can.
LADIES & GENTS: Don't delay, come to this meeting next week and learn how to be a survivor - with a simple plan in place your chances of a normal life are greatly enhanced. Give me a call or I will see you at "The Woolshed" out at 1866 Cambridge Road next Wednesday. Kind regards and best wishes from Doug Lineham, Fairburn Place, Cambridge. 07 823 2506 or 027 293 9632.

Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
