Congressman Stivers,
As the caregiver of a prostate cancer survivor. I wanted to
let you know that the Bishop-King Dear Colleague letter in support of prostate
cancer research at the Department of Defense is now open and men and families
in our state are counting on you to help. You can view the letter at support.zerocancer.org/fy20bishopking.
The letter urges the Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense
to provide $110 million in funding for the Department of Defense's (DoD) Peer
Reviewed Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) in the Fiscal Year 2020 DoD
Appropriations bill. As we mentioned in our meeting, in 2019 alone, over
174,650 men across the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer,
and over 31,620 more will die of the disease.
I hope you will join U.S. Representatives Bishop and King in
their effort to ensure this unique and impactful program can continue its
groundbreaking work on behalf of prostate cancer patients. To sign onto the
letter, your office can contact Jonathan Halpern in Rep. Sanford Bishop's
office at 5-3631 or Jonathan.Halpern@mail.house.gov
as well as Deena Tauster in Rep. Peter King's office at 5-7896 or Deena.Tauster@mail.house.gov.
The deadline to sign on is Friday, March 15th.
Sincerely,
Linda and Ray Hoetger
