Nancy Lieberman

Last thing, a cause very close to your heart, the Check the Box campaign that you could probably tell us a little bit more about.

Jay Harris, my brother from Old Dominion, who works at ESPN, he called me over a year ago, him and his wife one night, and he goes, Nancy, I've got to tell you something.

I have prostate cancer.

So you hear prostate cancer, but I didn't really know much about it.

And I was like, no. There's nothing about you that says you're sick.

But his levels were elevated.

So he got diagnosed early.

So I went to a friend and I said, can you introduce me to the Prostate Cancer Foundation? So I come to California, Santa Monica.

I meet with Gina Carruthers.

And I said, tell me what I don't know.

One in eight men will have prostate cancer in their lifetime.

One in six are black men.

Two and a half times the rate to white men.

If you're in your 40s or there's prostate cancer, maybe down the lineage of your grandfather, your uncle, somebody, get tested at 40.

Don't wait to 45.

If you get tested early, so you go to the doctor and you have to advocate for yourself and you have to tell the doctor, I need you to check the PSA box like cholesterol, boom, boom, boom.

Because sometimes if it's not covered on your insurance, they'll skip it because they don't get paid Okay, so you have to advocate to yourself.

It's the prostate specific antigens is PSA and If you get diagnosed early, there's 98% chance you're going to live a great, healthy life to be with your family.

If you don't, if you're scared of the doctor, if you're afraid that it's going to be a digital test, which technology is so different today, you don't have to feel emasculated by doing that.

If you don't get tested and it metastasizes in your organs, your liver, your kidneys, the outcome is not going to be good.

So if you look me in the eye, if you hear my voice, it's because I care.

I care about men.

I care about black men.

So many guys.

Alonzo Mourning, you probably didn't know that, is a survivor.
