Blue Cure Foundation Founder Gabe Canales with Blue Cure Supporters Dr. Carolyn Farb & Dr. Rod Paige discuss ways of getting our message out across the country.

From Gabe Canales - Founder, Blue Cure Foundation -

A little about the Blue Cure Foundation I'm launching:

Did you know prostate cancer is more common than breast cancer? Prostate cancer strikes 1 in 6 men, while breast cancer strikes 1 in 8 women. Last year, an estimated 217,730 U.S. men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and 32,050 died of the disease, the most commonly diagnosed "male cancer."

When I was diagnosed last year at age 35, like most men I had little idea what it was. Now I do -- and I want to help others learn, too. So I've spoken across the country, written for The Huffington Post and the Houston Chronicle, met with top doctors and researchers and appeared in interviews to raise awareness and educate others.

Yes, I'm committed -- and I'm devoting the rest of my life to raising awareness and saving lives. That's why this summer I'm officially launching the Blue Cure Foundation, as the "blue" men's side of the "pink" campaign for women's breast cancer. Our goal is to raise awareness of prostate cancer, encourage annual screenings, promote healthier lifestyles for preventative measures and reach a younger generation.

Below are a few media links of me as founder. We will be starting a larger media push towards the end of this summer leading into September which is National Prostate Cancer Awareness month.
