Our Prostate Cancer Angels!

As this month grows to a close I want to remember those Prostate Cancer Angels who have lost their battle!

When we first found out that Ray has prostate cancer I needed to find friends who understood what I was feeling.  And I found friends on facebook that are very special to me.   They might be Angels now but their voices still needs to be heard for the young men who are afraid to talk about having prostate cancer or being tested!

Everyone WELCOME!!!!!

COMING IN 8 DAYS!!!!!!

In 8 days the 1st Pasta for Prostates will take place!  The raffle items are growing daily and so are the pasta donations. I have had many turn downs on donations but then it seems like for every one denied it comes back two fold! I want to thank eveyone who has been helping with the whole planning stages and efforts to this fundraiser. 

I am greatful to have friends and families who are just as passionate as I am with Prostate Cancer. So many people thinks it just affects the men, but that is false. We women suffer like the men do, yes we do not have a prostate but we get depression also. Some men will not talk to a support group or anyone else for that matter and then suffer in silence when there is no need to.

September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month and it should be all over the TV with psa. But how many have you seen or heard? I have heard more about breast cancer but the fact it is not breast cancer month. It is in October people we are still in September!!!! Did you know that 28,000 men with die this year of prostate cancer?

Ray has a chance of getting breast cancer from the hormone shots that he is receiving, but I am not worried about it becasue there is so much funding and help for breast cancer I know he will be taken care of. I hope unless the breast cancer funding does not cover men with breast cancer.

Sorry just venting!

The spill on Capitol Hill

On September 13th Ray, Petey and I were at The Summit to End ProstateCancer on this morning we had meetings with our Senators/Staffers.
Around 8:10am I took a spill on Capitol Hill, fell of the curb thinking it was a slope in the sidewalk. Being blind in one eye did not help at all. I go down on my ankle and heard a pop and cry like a baby.  I will admit it!!
The Capitol Hill Officers come over to see if I need them to call the squad.
Me (tears flowing): No we have a meeting with Sharrod Brown at 8:30 and I am going no matter what this is too important to me!
Officers:  We will get you there but you need to see the Capitol Hill nurse.
Me: After we meet with Sharrod Brown
Officers: We will have a wheel chair waiting for you at the door, we called for the shuttle to get you to the door.
Me: ok I can't miss these meeting they are more important.

At 8:30 am was our first meeting with Sharrod Brown to let him know not to cut funding for prostate cancer and to bring awareness to this disease. It is not just a men's disease it's a couple's disease.

Pam called me while  we were waiting to check in for The Summit to End Prostate Cancer. What a perfect raffle item to go along with the theme of Pasta for Prostates.

Hi Lisa!

Is there any possible way that Good Day Columbus could do a story about Pasta for Prostates? My husband is a prostate cancer survivor and I since there is little said about prostate cancer I wanted to make a difference. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness month. It sad when I hear someone talking about prostate cancer and my I know their pain being the wife/ caregiver of a Survivor! October 12th it will be 3 years of the 5 year re-occurrence time. My husbands prostate cancer spread out the prostate to the lymph- nodes so he is on hormone treatments. The best news is that he has been in remission.

On Monday we are going to DC for the Prostate Cancer Summit and then we are all going to meet with Ohio Representatives to tell them our stories.

I have a blog called pastaforprostates.blogspot.com

If nothing can be done I sorta understand!

Meteorologist Lisa Colbert Hi Linda! Hope you're having a safe and productive trip to DC. I will definitely share your idea with our AM producers. Being a caregiver must be one of the hardest jobs on the planet, and your husband is lucky to have you. I watched my dad go through the same thing for years with my mom...hard is the understatement of the century. Wishing both of you the best as you continue on the journey together!

The Summit to End Prostate Cancer

Today we are leaving to attend The Summit To End Prostate Cancer.  Petey is so excited to go to DC on September 13th we will be going to Capitol Hill to meet with the Representatives from Ohio. 

Someday Petey will make a difference with Prostate Cancer Awareness!

bd's Mongolian Grill

bd's has donated $20.00 in Mongo bucks.

Petey leaving for DC on Monday

Petey is getting excited as he is attending the Prostate Cancer Summit September 11-13!  You know how much fun he has on his adventures this is his first one since National Night Out last month.  Sometime he has so many people follow him when he is out spreading the word about Prostate Cancer and the attention he gets. 

Wonder if he will have a paparazzi follow him in DC!

And being Petey's mom and knowing the mischief he can get into I will have to keep a good eye on him!

Football raffle can!

Ok so the one who knows my creative brain and what I can do with just about anything!  Recycled coffee can with the lid into a raffle prize ticket holder, who know it might just be put on ebay! 

THANK YOU!!!

With the support of the communities, helping with getting donations, home business this will be a success!  As each day grows closer more and more people are getting excited and can not wait to be part of the 1st Annual Pasta for Prostates!

Multi-tasking

Today has been so much multi-tasking!!!  Calling places for donations of gift cards to help make up the differences to what we will need.  Printing out letters and flyers to take to places.

I was trying to do an individual list of what we have donated and take pictures but now I am getting so many it is easier to list to donors. This way I can wet your appitite to come out for Pasta for Prostates.  Here is another one to get you interested Great Hearvest Bread Company is donating a bread basket!  Do you want to see a picture of it well you will just have to come out and see!!! LOL!!!! BTW there Carmel Apple bread is yummy!!

We are going to DC on Monday for the Prostate Cancer Summit but I will still be working on the fundraiser and blog. 

working 24/7

I am sorry that I have not updated in a few days.  Give me a few days and I can add a list of the Donors.  I am close to 100 raffle items!  Make sure you get your tickets and come out before someone else get teh item you want!

Mike Doss

Also at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe Mike Doss was there.  Ray met him a few years ago and was talking to him.  He also invited him out and then Mike said to talk with his manager so we did. 

Craig Krenzel

All right all you Buckeye Fans last night I seen Craig Krenzel at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe.  I invited him out to Pasta for Prostates and gave him one of the posters.  He wanted to know if I wanted an autographed football for the raffle.  YES!
