Proclamation Team
You can help save our men in Ohio from prostate cancer - you are needed to be part of the solution by joining my Ohio Proclamation Team!
Our elected officials can help us raise much needed awareness by issuing an official Proclamation that you can make happen.
Once we secure official Proclamations across Ohio, you get to accept in person the Proclamation, say a few words about why we all don't want anyone else to go through what we all have been through in battling prostate cancer. I know from experience that you can make such an impact by sharing your personal story.
My husband and I have shared our experiences at many of the Council meetings in Cities, Villages and Townships. And have been invited to the Ohio Statehouse to testify at the USPSTF hearings on both sides of the house. We were able to inspire others to get involved. We have had men, families and Elected Officials so moved to share their own story with us. Too many men are affected by this disease.
I want to encourage other communities to get involved as well in making prostate cancer a thing of the past. So it would be great if you can take pictures at the presentations to share on social media. We will also add a photo of the proclamation or resolution to our map and on our website.
Please let me know that you can help by sharing the following with me:
Name:
City:
Township:
Survivor or Caregiver:
Would you like to share your story?
Are you a ZERO champion?
I am excited to work with you!

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month
Whereas, this year approximately 164,690 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in the United States alone every year – that’s one man every 3.2 minutes and roughly 29,430 die this year from the disease – which is one man every 18 minutes; and
Whereas, in Ohio an estimated 5,810 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed and an estimated 1,110 deaths will occur in 2018; and
Whereas, Men with relatives – father, brother, son – with a history of prostate cancer are twice as likely to develop the disease; and
Whereas, Prostate cancer is most commonly diagnosed cancer in American Men and the third leading cause of cancer death behind lung and colon cancer; and
Whereas, 1 in 9 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. 1 in 6 African American men will develop prostate cancer in his lifetime. Overall, African American men are 1.7 times more likely to be diagnosed with—and 2.3 times more likely to die from—prostate cancer than white men.
Whereas, Veterans who are exposed to herbicides like Agent Orange are at increased risk for developing prostate cancer, and are more likely to have an aggressive form of the disease; and
Whereas, Education regarding prostate cancer and early detection strategies is critical to saving lives, preserving, and protecting our families. The economic and social burden of prostate cancer is huge; and
Whereas, If caught early prostate cancer has a five-year survival rate of nearly 100%. However for late stage prostate cancer the five-year survival rate is 29%; and
Whereas, all men are at risk for prostate cancer and we encourage the citizens of (City) to increase the importance of prostate screenings.

Veterans speak up!
Veterans across the Nation it’s time for you to speak up about prostate cancer and the impact it has made on your life. Education and Awareness is KEY! My husband is a Veteran and was diagnosed at 56 with an aggressive form. No boots on the ground in Vietnam, no family history. Elected officials please feel free to contact me with your support!
Tuesday, February 27, 2018
Our ZERO Champion family from across the country! There are some who could not be with us we all have many things in common. How prostate cancer has made an impact on our lives. We all want a cure for prostate cancer. More education and awareness for this horrible disease.
Senators and Congress we need you to keep the funding for prostate cancer in the budget. We are asking for 100 Million, but if you have an extra 10 Million or more laying around the prostate cancer families would be more than happy to accept it for saving the men in our lives!
Please sign the Dear Colleague letter when it comes across your desk!

ZERO Summit 2018
Petey:
On Sunday Mom, Dad and I will be in DC for the #zerosummit2018 along with other families living with prostate cancer. On the last day of the Summit we will be on the Hill asking Senators and Congress to continue robust funding for prostate cancer. Last year we asked for 90 Million and it was approved for the budget. This year our ask is 100 Million. Fingers crossed!!
Mom will have a few minutes to share her Journey with this horrible disease and how it effects the women in our lives. Men we need to start speaking up and letting other men know that they are not alone! Yes you don’t like to talk about it as prostate cancer takes away your manhood. Some women can not handle the struggles that you are dealing with and chose to leave. And some women will stand by you no matter! My mom is one of them who is in your corner and completely understands your struggles. She has been on her Journey for 8 1/2 years!
There is a reason why God chose us, we are some of his strongest Warriors!
Pictures to follow soon!

We had to make a pit stop because mom could not find her glasses. I had to take pictures of the scenery. After that we went into the Welcome Center and they had a Maryland map and a beautiful painted rock! The ladies fell in love with me! And gave me my own rocks to take with me. And will support my mission too and share my picture! 🙂
Don’t worry I was safe on the sign!

World Cancer Day 2018
Today is world Cancer Day! June 19, 2009 that horrible Word Cancer struck my family. Ray was 56 years old and was diagnosed with an aggressive for of prostate cancer. When we were told I felt like I hit a brick wall at full force. Myself had so many questions that needed answers.
The words Prostate Cancer has changed our lives in so many ways. We have met some new “family” and share their joys of being in Remission. We morn with the families who have lost their loved ones in their battle with this disease. Ray and I advocate for Education and Awareness for Prostate Cancer. We speak with our elected officials in Ohio and on Capitol Hill on the importance of robust funding for research in finding a cure for this disease.
Ray is in Remission and we know at anytime this disease can rear it’s ugly head. But we are not going to let prostate cancer win. #KeepFighting #ProstateCancer #WorldCancerDay #EndProstateCancer #Zero
