Working with ZERO has given me so many more opportunities to help raise awareness and to be part of ending prostate cancer. Each year Ray and I speak to our elected officials at the Annual ZERO Prostate Cancer Summit in Washington, D.C., and work locally in Ohio to secure proclamations from each local government Each September, the nation recognizes declaring September as Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. Currently Representative Brown and Representative Scott Lipps along with 5 Co-Sponsors are assisting us with House Bill 570 passed. This Bill is for Prostate Cancer Awareness license plates. As of June 20, 2018 I am pleased to advise that the ZERO license plate bill, HB 570, was unanimously passed out of committee this morning! 10 Yeas and 0 Nays from Transportation Committee Members, we are over our first hurdle!
1 in 9 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Someone in your family or you may know someone impacted by prostate cancer. Your support is needed as education and awareness for prostate cancer is limited across the nation. Prostate cancer awareness month is in September, although I am starting early contacting everyone. In hopes that you to can encourage your surrounding communities to join us in raising awareness and education so men can make an informed decision if treatment is needed in their lifetime. Your support means the world to those battling this horrible disease and gets men talking and veterans sharing their story as well. While men are sharing their story, other men and families know they are not alone in this fight and in turn encourage others to share also.
