Kilted to Kick Cancer Spotlight: Happy Medic and Motorcop

After Save the Boobies month last year, in which Happy Medic convinced a great many EMS bloggers to change their blog backgrounds to pink in support of breast cancer awareness, TOTWTYTR pointed out that prostate cancer claims as many male lives as breast cancer kills females, and yet receives a small fraction of the funding and public attention.

Well, flash forward a year, and Happy, not one to let a good cause go unsupported, conceived Kilted to Kick Cancer along with his buddy and podcasting partner Motorcop.

They conceived the campaign, rounded up the corporate sponsors, and did 99% of the legwork. I just jumped on their coattails at the last minute when I decided to raise funds for the cause. The money my blog friends managed to raise in the fundraising challenge can be quantified, but the awareness and direct donations garnered by their campaign cannot, and are likely much more.

They're good men with a strong sense of duty and public service. You can support Happy Medic's donations to Prostate Cancer Foundation here, and LiveStrong here, and you can support Motorcop's donations to Prostate Cancer Foundation here. Go by their blogs and let them know you appreciate their efforts in getting this whole thing started, and drop a little in the pot for male-specific cancer research while you're there. Every little bit helps.

They're Happy Medic and Motorcop, and they're Kilted to Kick Cancer.
