The American Cancer Society estimates in 2025, more than 300,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and more than 35,000 will die from the disease.
The baseball announcer for a long time, Ed Randall, is a survivor of prostate cancer.
“I was 47 years old when I went to the doctor for my annual routine physique. At least I thought I was going to be routine. And I felt good that day. And, to my surprise, they told me that I had prostate cancer,” says Randall.
Ed realized that other men may be in the same situation he was in.
Then, in 2003, he founded fans of the beneficial organization for the cure, which encourages men over 40 years to have a PSA blood analysis.
“There is a cure rate of 99 percent if early prostate cancer is detected,” says Randall.
Ed is coanfrerion of the program “Remember when”, on the radio of the MLB network in Siriusxm, and take the time of each program so that the listeners know about the fans of the cure.
“I am the only person who I am sure in this country … that he stops his program to tell the men of his audience to go to doctors and have a simple blood analysis, because demography listening to my programs largely is the demographic group that is more vulnerable to prostate cancer,” says Randall.
Cure work fans include accommodation of awareness and free projections in stadiums and sports sands, along with community health events, patient defense, medical references and support groups for men and women.
