C'mon out to Las Vegas folks on September 1st and 2nd. On September 1st the County Commission will sign a proclamation declaring September PCa awareness month. Then on the 2nd at 1:00 on the Las Vegas Strip, with full media present, we light the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign blue. It will stay lit this way for 2 weeks. Then at 8:00pm at the now famous High Roller ferris wheel former Mayor Jan Jones, and Caesars Entertainment will light this huge wheel blue. We will have media here as well. I will be speaking at both events and so will my friends in Govt and some docs. We will do a toast and take a ride on the "blue" wheel. Then on September 16th we have our race at the UNLV track. We have 4 TV/radio spots as well during the month. Cmon out and have some fun with us and get the word out.

Should be a fun month and all are welcome.

Sounds like a blast Tony. Will the Temps drop down out of the 100's by that time of the year?

It's possible Michael. It's also possible that if it's still in the 100's and breezy it will feel like a blast ~ from a blow drier. But typically September is relief month.

But today was 111.

Tony, You're a great example of persistence paying off in a big way! It sounds wonderful and would love to be able to get out there with Don. Maybe someday.
Thanks for all you do to bring awareness to this disease - that blesses all of us!
