Manhattan Beach, CA  (PRBuzz.com) April 6, 2012 -- The Prostate Cancer Awareness Project (PCAP) has partnered with the Prostate Conditions Education Council [http://www.PCEC.org] to generate funds for free prostate cancer screening. PCAP's Prostate Cancer Pony Express, is the first ever 50-state charity motorcycle relay rally to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer. Funds raised by the Prostate Cancer Pony Express riders will be used to support free testing programs in the states where raised and for the PCAP's free Internet PSA tracking service, ProstateTracker.org. Donations can be made at http://www.active.com/donate/2012PCPonyExpress.

"Since President Richard M. Nixon declared the 'War on Cancer' in 1971, more than 1 million men have died from prostate cancer and there are over 2 million men living with prostate cancer today. Nearly 34,000 men will die each year from this disease."

Prostate cancer is treatable, but only if it is detected early, before it has spread. The Prostate Cancer Awareness Project recommends men begin annual testing at age 35.
