Women Pose Nude for Awareness Calendar
Twelve New Jersey women have shed their clothes for a calendar to raise awareness about prostate cancer.
Proceeds from “Stand By Your Man: 12 Women in Support of a Cure for Prostate Cancer” will go to the Prostate Cancer Coalition of New Jersey. Sheila Rosko of Blairstown got the idea from the 2003 movie, “Calendar Girls.” A group of women in England posed nude for a calendar to raise money for research after a friend’s husband died from leukemia. Rosko’s husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer 13 years ago. The 65-year-old called wives in cancer support groups around New Jersey to pose. Retired 71-year-old Wyckoff teacher Kathleen Garner, Miss February, says the calendar is “a little risque, but very tasteful.”
All of the women in the pages of each month have something in common, and it’s not the fact that they are posing in this calendar. At some point, each of these women has been at the side of a loved one who received the diagnosis of prostate cancer.
We enjoyed this information, however, most of the current awareness news articles that mention this calendar do not give the site or link to purchase it – you can purchase this fine calendar from the Prostate Cancer Coalition of New Jersey at this link
