The Cancer Journeys Foundation Announces the City Stops for the 2018 Tour de USA Across the Western United States

Manhattan Beach, California (Press Advantage) August 22, 2018

Manhattan Beach-based Cancer Journeys Foundation today announced the city stops for the 2018 Tour de USA for Prostate Cancer, which leaves Los Angeles on August 26th, swings through 9 western states, and returns to Los Angeles on September 18th, mid-way through National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

The city stops for this world record attempt car rally are: St. George, Utah; Durango, Colorado; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Kansas City, Kansas; Lincoln, Nebraska; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Boise, Idaho; Eugene, Oregon; Willows, California; Santa Rosa, California; Monterey, California; and Santa Ynez, California.

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and an important opportunity for men to think about their own prostate cancer risk. Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the United States, with 240,000 new cases diagnosed each year and almost 28,000 men losing their lives to the disease each year. There currently are more than 2.5 million prostate cancer survivors in the United States.

In May 2018, the United States Protective Services Task Force (USPSTF) reversed its previous position and began recommending that men aged 55-69 be offered a prostate specific antigen test to screen for prostate cancer.

Cancer Journeys Foundation President Robert Hess, himself a 15-year prostate cancer survivor, developed the ProstateTracker early detection system in 2010 to give men a simple and free tool for determining their prostate cancer risk and finding their prostate early when the cancer is still treatable.

According to Hess, “The 2018 Tour de USA’s mission is to make certain men know how to know their prostate cancer risk and treatment options. Our charity car rally begins on August 26, 2018 and ends back in Los Angeles on September 18th, after 23 days and 6,147 miles on the road, right in the middle of National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.”

Hess will be driving his personal Mazda Miata that he races and has wrapped with cancer awareness messages.

The Tour de USA will be carrying a SPOT Gen3 GPS tracker, compliments of Globalstar, so people all across the US can follow the drivers in real time on the Internet and meet up it as it comes through their state. City stops and the GPS map link are available on the Tour de USA® website at https://TourdeUSA.Events.

Says Hess, “We’re especially excited to be doing this event. One in every six men who hear or see our prostate cancer awareness message will have prostate cancer. I know we are saving lives every time I go on the road.”
