Older story but I wanted to share it, going through older emails. I have the nomination letters and they bring tears to my eyes! When Ray was first diagnosed I felt so alone. Trying to find a support group for men and women that meets together was impossible.

Linda Hoetger receives Edward C. Kaps 2012 Award
LANCASTER — Dr. Bill Stevens, chapter leader of The Prostate Cancer Education and Support Network of Fairfield County, recently announced that member Linda Hoetger received the Edward C. Kaps 2012 Award. The award is given to an outstanding leader in an Us TOO support group who has shown unselfish, dedicated service to prostate cancer survivors and their families. Hoetger became involved in the group in 2009 after her husband, Ray, was diagnosed and treated for advanced prostate cancer. She has been dedicated and active in support of prostate cancer awareness, both locally and nationally, Stevens said. Hoetger has attended several conferences and health fairs, and organized her first fundraising event called “Pasta for Prostates” in 2012. Established in 1995, Us TOO International now has more than 300 chapters worldwide and is dedicated to promoting prostate cancer awareness. This is the second time the Lancaster chapter has received the award. Stevens was honored in 2009. www.ustoo.org
