Your Marine Industry Friends Ask You To Support Movember

Several years ago, Dave McPhail and his wife Sharon started Boacan Computer Boat Sales a successful on-line marine advertising website. During his time in the marine industry Dave has been extremely active serving on various boards and committees to enhance and promote boating in Ontario and Canada.

Three years ago Dave was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, which was inoperable and not curable. However, Cancer Specialists in London have been able to control his cancer with massive radiation and hormone therapy treatment.

In an effort to give back, Dave has taken on the Movember movement and has donated his upper lip for the month of November to increase awareness for "men's health" and to raise funds for Prostate Cancer research.

For more information and to consider making a donation for Prostate Cancer research click on Dave's Movember page.
