Empowering Men's Health: From Urging Tests to Encouraging Comprehensive Care

EPISODE SUMMARY: 

Steve will tell the story of having met the day-to-day challenges and pressures of an athletic career for over twenty years, only to have to face down the humbling realities of prostate cancer. When he came out on the other side of surgery and recovery, he made a call to Ed Randall, asking to be "a foot soldier in (his) army." That role has expanded to helping to manage strategy for a modest-sized but hard-working charity that supports men at all stages of their prostate cancer journeys.

Fans for the Cure was founded in 2003 by sports broadcaster Ed Randall to bring awareness of and education about prostate cancer to men, with an emphasis on the importance of early detection. The charity has evolved from bringing its message to sporting events to supporting and organizing health fairs and screenings in underserved and vulnerable communities. Fans for the Cure also moderates over fifty support groups annually for both men and for women/partners/caregivers. The charity also refers between 100 and 200 men each year to trusted urologists and oncologists for diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship monitoring.
