Said Hess, “Prostate cancer claims the lives of almost 28,000 American men every year because these men don’t know they have the disease in time for effective treatment. The United States Protective Services Task Forces is one again recommending men have a PSA test. The mission of the 2018 Tour de USA® is to make certain men know about the prostate cancer risk (one in seven men will have the disease) and about the Foundation’s simple prostate cancer risk awareness tool, ProstateTracker App.”

“We’re really excited about the Tour de USA®,” said Hess. “It’s going to be a fantastic motoring adventure. We’ll be driving some great roads and helping to end prostate cancre at the same time. Driver registration is open at https://tourdeusa.events/2018-driver-registration/ and company sponsorships available.”
