My dad was the embodiment of health: disciplined, active, and a role model for healthy living. He never smoked, ate nutritious foods, and stayed committed to fitness. Yet in the spring of 2019, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. It was a devastating blow to our family. Cancer doesn’t discriminate.
He underwent surgery that summer to remove his prostate, but the uncertainty remained. When his PSA levels began to rise again, we knew the fight was far from over. Over the next five years, he endured radiation, immunotherapy, cancer medications, and even participated in clinical trials in 2023. His cancer was aggressive and relentless. His courageous battle came to an end in December 2024.
Each year, 1.4 million men are diagnosed with prostate cancer. That statistic now feels deeply personal. I worry about my son, myself, and every man I care about. That’s why I’m raising money to support research, advance treatments, and help find a cure. I also want to raise awareness so fewer families have to experience what ours did.
Please honor the men in your life by supporting the Movember Foundation. Your donation helps fund life-saving research, improve support services, and drive progress toward earlier detection and better treatments. Together, we can work toward a future where no family loses a loved one to prostate cancer.
