This September, I’ll be embarking on the challenge of a lifetime: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro as part of the ZERO Peaks Challenge. But this isn’t just about scaling Africa’s tallest mountain at 19,341 feet—it’s about raising awareness and providing critical support for the 3.3 million men living with prostate cancer, including me.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer at 49. It’s a diagnosis that turns your world upside down. Since then, I’ve undergone procedures, faced setbacks, and persevered with the support of my family, friends, and organizations like ZERO Prostate Cancer. I know firsthand how vital early detection, awareness, and access to resources can be—not just for surviving but for truly thriving.

This climb is my way of fighting back, of proving that cancer doesn’t get the last word. But I can’t do it alone. I need your help.

Every dollar I raise goes directly to ZERO Prostate Cancer to fund:

• Awareness campaigns to ensure men get screened early and often.
• Support programs for patients and families navigating this journey.
• Critical research to move us closer to a world without prostate cancer.

Your donation isn’t just supporting me—it’s bringing hope to countless lives and breaking down barriers to a future free of prostate cancer deaths.

But that’s not all. Tackling this mountain requires equipment I don’t yet have—gear like cold-weather clothing, climbing essentials, and more. If you’d like to sponsor me or donate equipment, your generosity would mean the world.

How You Can Help:

1. Donate: Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to the summit of change.
2. Share: Spread the word about this challenge and why prostate cancer awareness matters.
3. Sponsor: Equip me for success with the tools I need to make this climb.

Together, we can make an impact that echoes far beyond the summit. Let’s create a world where no one loses a loved one to prostate cancer.

Will you join me in this fight?

Be Loud. Be Bold. Be Blue!
