Younger men boost turnout at prostate cancer walk

On a recent Sunday in Barbados, the fourth annual CEMIX Prostate Cancer Walk and Run concluded with a remarkable showing of community support, bringing together hundreds of residents to shine a spotlight on one of the island nation’s deadliest public health threats for men. Organizers behind the grassroots awareness initiative say this year’s turnout continued a steady upward trend, most notably drawing a growing share of younger participants — a shift they call an encouraging win for public health outreach.
