My wife and I attended "The Healing Church of God in Christ" (THCOGIC) on May 29th.

Once again, we received a warm welcome from everyone at their convention. In conjunction with our ongoing efforts to educate and create awareness about prostate cancer, HERAC CIC has received a substantial donation from the church. Please accept our gratitude for all your contributions.

Our goal is to help communities regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, caste or religion. I would like to thank Pastor Johnson and Sister Beverly in particular.

The traditional image of men as macho is represented by the fact that they don't complain, and they don't have problems. The fact of the matter is that prostate cancer is something that you cannot ignore or disregard. It is a reality you have to face.
