On Father's Day, Sunday, June 21, I’m taking part in the ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk in honor of one of my best friends, my hero, and the strongest and most loving man I know – my dad, Denny Moore. My dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1996 at the age of 47; a huge shock for him, my mother and myself. Over the last 19 years, his cancer has come back five times and he has kicked its ass each time, always keeping a positive outlook. I will do everything in my power to keep him happy and continue to help him fight this wretched disease.
Being team captain for “Denny’s Shotgun Riders” is a true honor and the absolute least I can do to not only support my dad but help others fight and prevent prostate cancer.
No donation is too big or too small and you can designate your contribution in memory of a loved one, or in honor of a man now battling prostate cancer. I’d also love for you to join my team and walk/run with me on Father’s Day. Becoming one of “Denny’s Shotgun Riders” would be a true honor and mean so much to me and my dad.
