Well, friends, now that “the word” has been promulgated by the Prostate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI) in Los Angeles, I can “pass the word” that I was nominated by Wichita Us TOO Prostate Cancer Education and Support Chapter member Judge Larry Hollis and selected by a PCRI committee, as one of two recipients this year of the “Harry Pinchot Award” and will be traveling to Los Angeles next week to receive this presitgious award.  Please review below the award information and other events that will occur during the “Gala Dinner” at this year’s annual PCRI Conference on Prostate Cancer.  You can imagine that I am both thrilled and humbled by this selection.

PCRI Medical Director SATURDAY NIGHT DINNER GALA

FEATURING:A Keynote Address by Dean , M.D., PCRI Medical Director

Dr. graduated from University of California, San Diego in 1972 with a focus on molecular biology. He completed his medical training at the University of Southern California in 1976 and his residency at USC in orthopedic surgery in 1981. He is board certified and is an active fellow of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. While leading a group practice in the San Diego area between 1981 and 2003, he specialized in reconstructive surgery including stabilizing pathologic fractures from metastatic bone disease.

Dr. has been personally impacted by prostate cancer. His father, who was initially treated with radioactive seed implantation, later developed a cancer recurrence requiring hormonal treatment and chemotherapy. He ultimately succumbed to the disease. While caring for his father, Dr. found that he himself had prostate cancer. He initially selected a monitoring program called active surveillance. Subsequently he underwent successful treatment with surgery.

With his wife Jeanne, Dr. founded LifeGuard Inc., a firm instrumental in raising four million dollars for Histogen Inc., a company focused on isolating stem cell signaling proteins to kill prostate cancer cells. Dr. and his wife are also the founders of LifeGuard Ministries, a Christian 501c3, that focuses to unite the faith-based community in the war against cancer. Dr. ’s firsthand experience with cancer, his love for research and his passion to empower patients in their anti-cancer journey has led to his joining PCRI in their fight against prostate cancer.

Chuck,

I tried to send my congratulations last night, but my email system was messing up for some reason, so I'll send them today. As others have said, richly deserved. Between you and Terry (and several others on this site), many men have been given amazing amounts of information and comfort after diagnosis. Thank you.

Mike

Well, friends, now that “the word†has been promulgated by the Prostate Cancer Research Institute (PCRI) in Los Angeles, I can “pass the word†that I was nominated by Wichita Us TOO Prostate Cancer Education and Support Chapter member Judge Larry Hollis and selected by a PCRI committee, as one of two recipients this year of the “Harry Pinchot Award†and will be traveling to Los Angeles next week to receive this presitgious award. Please review below the award information and other events that will occur during the “Gala Dinner†at this year’s annual PCRI Conference on Prostate Cancer. You can imagine that I am both thrilled and humbled by this selection.

Chuck, after knowing you as a (internet) friend and constant consultant in my battle with prostate cancer over the past six years, I can only wonder why it took so long for you to recognized. You are my constant "the glass is half-full" reminder. Congratulations for a well deserved recognition of your devotion to the fight against prostate cancer and the caring work you do every single day.
