George Lemon

"I grew up here in the Canton/Massillon area and have been fortunate to serve my country as an Army helicopter pilot, graduate as part of the 3rd graduating class of Stark State College, work for a Fortune 500 Company, own my own company and raise a wonderful family with my wife. 12 years ago, during a routine, annual company physical, it was noted that my PSA number was elevated which led to my diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer.

There are no losers to cancer. Improvements have been made, but we are not done yet. The things we do today will help others that come along after. But the most important message I think I can share, especially with men: be aware and get your screenings done!"
