<div>My name is Patrick Burrows.
</div>
<div>I’m 63 years old, and I’m still here—fighting, smiling, and determined—because I never gave up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In December 2023, I heard the words no man ever wants to hear: “You have prostate cancer.” In that moment, my world shifted. I went through surgery then my cancer came back so had to have two month of radiation therapy everyday because myPSA levels rose again.
</div>
<div>That news could have crushed me. But I chose hope over fear.
</div>
<div>My hormone therapy—still ongoing today.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Along this journey, I learned something heartbreaking: Black men face the highest risk—1 in 4 will be diagnosed if they don’t test early. For white men, it’s about 1 in 8. For Asian men, 1 in 13. Too many brothers, fathers, and friends are being diagnosed too late, when treatment options are fewer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I can’t keep quiet about this. My survival is not just my own story—it’s a call to action. That’s why I’m creating **"Never Give Up: Prostate Cancer Awareness &amp; Survival Talk"**—a free, open community event where I’ll share my journey, invite expert voices, and encourage men to get tested *before it’s too late*.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>**Why I Need Your Help**
</div>
<div>I am not asking for money for my treatment. I am asking for your help to make this event possible—so it can be free for everyone who needs to hear this message. Your support will cover:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>* Venue rental
</div>
<div>* Hosts and guest speakers
</div>
<div>* Free refreshments for attendees
</div>
<div>* Printing and awareness materials
</div>
<div>* Audio-visual setup to make the event engaging and accessible
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>By funding this event, you are helping to save lives—not someday, but right now.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why It Matters</strong>
</div>
<div>Prostate cancer doesn’t just affect men—it impacts partners, children, families, and communities. Women often play the vital role of urging men to get checked. This is a fight for all of us.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With your help, we can reach more people, break the silence, and inspire action.
</div>
<div>Your donation will mean more men get tested early, more families are spared the pain of losing a loved one, and more survivors can stand up and say: Never Give Up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>From my heart to yours—thank you for standing with me in this mission.
