Car racing runs in the Petty family, handed down from NASCAR great Lee to his son Richard and grandson Kyle. But like too many American families, so does prostate cancer. To encourage prostate cancer screening, NASCAR champion Kyle Petty is out in front as spokesperson for the STAY ON TRACK for Better Prostate Health national prostate cancer awareness program, sponsored by the Prostate Cancer Education Council (PCEC) and sanofi-aventis.
Sanofi-aventis collaborating with the PCEC on the STAY ON TRACK for Better Prostate Health program to encourage men to have routine check-ups for prostate cancer and how to drive treatment so they can stay the course.
If you are 50+ or at risk for prostate cancer, please take care of yourself as well as you would care for your car. Click on the form below to take the "Kyle Petty's Prostate Inspection Pledge."
For every pledge, sanofi-aventis will donate a dollar to PCEC to support prostate education. The number of pledges and total funds donated will be announced by PCEC during Prostate Cancer Awareness Week, September 14-20, 2008.
"We are excited to partner with Kyle Petty and sanofi-aventis on this important initiative to help men with prostate cancer become active members of their team, not passive passengers."
-- Wendy Poage, Executive Director, PCEC
"By consulting with both a medical and radiation oncologist along with a urologist, men with prostate cancer may optimize their care. I work very closely with my colleagues on a multidisciplinary treatment team to explore all available options, including surgery, radiation and chemotherapy."
-- Robert Dreicer, MD, FACP, Chairman of the Department of Solid Tumor Oncology at the Cleveland Clinic and Profesor Of Medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine
