Join us Saturday for our Prostate Cancer Awareness Event at Lefleur’s Bluff! Led by State Health Officer Dr Dan Edney @danedneymd , Mississippi State Department of Health @msdh is thankful for our partnership with You Are Not Alone and PHEN! Men, we know the finger test keeps a lot of us away but we can get bloodwork. Some of us don’t even like that but as stated in the interview “I’d rather you be uncomfortable in the doctor’s office for 1 minute than comfortable in the grave for a lifetime!” Fellas, let’s get screened. Ladies, let’s get the men you know screened, if you care about them. #ProstateCancerAwareness #ChangeCantWait Thank you @WJTV , @KThompsonTV for helping us get the word out! These messages help save lives! 💪🏽

Your name means something so stop allowing simple people to get close enough to u to do simple things. A fool will ultimately do what he or she does best when opportunity present itself. Protect your name at all cost. Separate yourself NOW! Your name is all u have. #CoachPrime
