Day 1: Gentlemen, Start Your MOtors!

Gentlemen, Start your MOtors!!!

These are almost the most famous words in motorsports and are spoken at the majority of race tracks across the world every Sunday.  The fight with prostate cancer is nothing like the 2 hour race you see at your local short track on a Saturday night; rather, the fight with prostate cancer is like competing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.

The 24 Hour race through the French country side is punishing and for all of those involved can bring out emotions of anger, joy, exhaustion, disappointment, happiness and jubilation.  All of these emotions can be experienced in the process of finishing the race.  Those best prepared and equipped have a chance at victory and those who win the 24 hour marathon forever have their name engraved in history.

The fight against prostate cancer is much like the fight to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans and those diagnosed with the disease will experience all of the same emotions race teams and drivers do within that 24 hour period.  Those best prepared will win the race and those best prepared to fight prostate cancer will have a greater chance at beating the disease and winning their own personal race.  Those who conquer the disease do not have their name's engraved in history, just in the hearts and minds of the loved ones they get to see for another day.

Knowing who is at risk of developing prostate cancer is the first step of preparation.  There are a variety of factors which can contribute to the disease which are controllable such as diet and weight, while other factors such as age, ethnicity, and family history are out of your control.

• Family history has a great deal to do with your risk of developing the disease. 10-15% of men with prostate cancer also have family history of the disease and those whose family's have this trend are more likely to develop the condition before the age of 55.
• Prostate cancer is rare in men under the age of 40, 80% of men diagnosed are age 65 and older; 90% of men in this age group dying from the disease.  As a result early detection is very important as the disease is curable if diagnosed at the right state. - Book your yearly physical ASAP and go get checked out.

My Bro. Mo.

I started the day with a clean shave.  I had been growing a beard throughout the weekend to make sure I got the cleanest shave possible this morning.  I prefer the classic Mach 3 Razor, why do I need 4 blades of death to cut my face when 3 will do the job just as well!

I managed to knick myself shaving this morning despite my best efforts.  Shaving when you're 1/2 awake at 6:45am is never a good idea, take it from me kids.  Shave Safe - Shave Awake.  Happy growing everyone!

Famous Bro. Mo. Of The Day

This is Richard Petty aka The King.  Between 1960-1984 he recorded 200 wins in what is now NASCAR's premier series, the Sprint Cup.  Petty was fearless on the racetrack and a fierce competitor.  The King recorded an impressive 27 wins in 1967 which he attributed to Dodge's dedication and preparation in the fall of 1966 to provide him with the best possible equipment for him to succeed.  He is also known for his cowboy hat and classic Texas Longhorn stash.  While his teeth might not be real, the stash is.  What can we learn from the King?

Champions Wear Mustaches long after their teeth are gone. The way to win a race is to have the best preparation and equipment possible.  Be prepared.  Get your equipment checked.
