Kurt Ludlow - ABC Anchor

September 14, 2016 @ 5:45pm Kurt Ludlow shared his breaking news of prostate cancer on live TV. I shared his news with ZERO The End Of Prostate Cancer and this is posted on their FB page!

Yesterday Kurt Ludlow TV  - an ABC anchor in Columbus, Ohio - shared some news with his viewers on-air: he's been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Kurt's announcement brings much-needed prostate cancer awareness, encouraging discussion among his viewers about the disease and the need for testing. Kurt shares vital info in the broadcast, and we're thankful for his courage and bravery in discussing his disease so candidly. He'll share more on his story on-air all week, and serves as an inspiration to others during Prostate Cancer Awareness Month! #FacesofHope #endprostatecancer #PCAM16
