INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

What better way to get men to get screened for cancer by using their toys to lure them to the event.

CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES 

My husband was diagnosed with cancer and I realized that there was a lot of screening for breast cancer, but no one was mentioning ways to make men aware of their risk for prostate cancer, so I decided to do something about it. I started a car show as a fun way to raise awareness.

  1. Greetings Debbie. …. On behalf of all of us who appreciate the dedication of this great cause in the saving of lives …., we thank you!! In these perilous times that we’re living I personally enjoy going back to Mayberry more in the days of innocence. as well as going back to the days of the muscle cars and classics of yesteryear ….. more innocence then what we have today ……. America has lost it’s spiritual and moral Compass in my opinion. ……. And life is but a vapor Debbie we’re all just passing through …. So more importantly is where every human being man and woman will spend eternity ….. I pray for all for the big picture of just passing through …..and eternity spent!!! God Bless. Love in Christ ……. Daniel & Oyuki.
