Subject: The Crowns Project: Illuminating the Path to Prostate Cancer Prevention
My journey with prostate cancer began with a personal diagnosis of an aggressive form of the disease. This experience ignited a passion to raise awareness and early detection, leading to the creation of The Crowns Project. We envision becoming Ohio's leading resource for prostate cancer prevention, offering hope and vital information to men and their families.
Prostate cancer remains the second leading cause of cancer death in men, impacting not only individuals but also families, relationships, communities, and even businesses through healthcare costs and employee well-being. Despite its prevalence, prostate cancer lacks the widespread recognition it deserves. Many men remain unaware of the critical importance of early testing.
At The Crowns Project, we're talking messages directly to men, making information accessible and engaging. We're making significant strides thanks to the incredible support of individuals, businesses, healthcare providers, and academic institutions across Ohio.
Our plans include expanding our reach and deepening our impact, ensuring every man understands the risks and the life-saving potential of early detection and treatment. We invite you to join us in this vital mission. Share our message, support our initiatives, and help us save lives by promoting proactive health. Together, we can make a tangible difference.
With gratitude,
Anton (Joao-Luiz) Allensworth
Director, The Crowns Project
