RALPH LAKE
AUSTIN, TEXAS

This will be my 8th expedition with the Prostate Awareness Foundation. I’m especially looking forward to this summer’s expedition as my daughter Stacy will be participating as well. It will be nice to share this experience with her while raising money and awareness for a really good cause.

The annual Cancer Climb for Prostate Awareness fundraising expeditions has been a great way to spread the message about early detection of this epidemic disease. It has also been a great way for me personally to stay in top physical condition.

My father and four uncles were diagnosed with cancer and most recently two good friends were told they have prostate cancer. It seems like there’s an epidemic going on.
My old high school classmate Ken Malik was diagnosed sixteen years ago with prostate cancer and I respect the way he has taken a proactive approach to stalling disease progression.

As a retiree, I don’t want to become another statistic. With the awareness I have gained about prostate health, I am taking a positive, proactive position in regard to prostate cancer prevention. I believe that awareness and personal action are key elements to prevention, early detection, and the early treatments that save lives.

Ralph Lake is a retired engineer and resides in Austin, Texas. He is on the board of directors of the Prostate Awareness Foundation. Ralph is an avid fisherman and has been an outdoorsman all his life.

Once again this year, Ralph will be one the expedition leaders.
