you still have time if you want to try to stimulate the news media to
help promote prostate cancer awareness in your area.

Fort Worth has an annual car show going on this weekend. A classic
car show with "free" PSA and DRE. If results are positive, they are
referred for further testing. The first year they had 54 tested. Last
year it was up to 250. This year they are hoping for 275.

This needs to be promoted like breast cancer with women. It is out
there more than most men think. But I am preaching to the choir. We
know that by experience.

Have a good weekend!
