Help Stop Prostate Cancer

Nationwide  How far would you go to protect yourself and your family? What if it was a matter of life and death? And what if the answer was a simple exam?

Like many, Kevin Byrd of Utica, NY would do just about anything for his family. When he learned that his grandfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he was devastated. But nothing prepared him for the death of his grandfather from the disease about 10 years ago. 

"When my grandfather died from prostate cancer, my world was crushed," says Byrd. During Mr. Byrd’s time of bereavement, his colleague, Blossom Brown, shared that she had also experienced the loss of her grandfather to Prostate Cancer.

"I could not stand around to see another family suffer the loss of a loved one to prostate cancer," says Byrd. Kevin Byrd and Blossom Brown were motivated to keep their grandfather’s legacy alive so they joined forces and established the Brown Byrd Foundation, a Christian organization and a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
