Men Moving Forward Cohort #7 Week #10 1️⃣ Encouraging each other to “finish harder than we started” on the last set (of push-ups) 2️⃣ An alumn comes back to share his journey to and through plant-based eating #wecandothis === Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among American men (next to skin cancer), and it is a special concern for African Americans. For reasons that aren’t completely understood, African American men are at higher risk than others for prostate cancer and are more likely to be diagnosed younger with more challenging disease. Connecting African American men with health care and cancer screening to help change these disparities is critical. Lifestyle after cancer treatment is another important factor because lifestyle affects treatment side effects, the chance of cancer coming back and other health conditions a man may develop. Studies that help change lifestyles report good results for prostate cancer survivors, but in the past, African American men have had limited involvement. Men Moving Forward supports African American prostate cancer survivors in embracing activity and nutrition that improve body composition and quality of life. The goal is to reduce risk for chronic diseases and prostate cancer coming back. The 16-week program will enroll Milwaukee-area men in phases over the next several years. It is open to African Americans who finished prostate cancer treatment at least six months before joining the study or men who have slow-growing prostate cancer and are being checked regularly by their doctor. Men have interviews and tests to measure strength and body composition before and after the program to see how well the study worked. As part of its research, MCW also conducts interviews with the Men Moving Forward participants. Each person receives $40 for participating in the interviews.

@milwaukeerecreation let’s us use a @milwaukeemps teacher’s classroom room for our discussions in #menmovingforward a healthy lifestyle program for men thriving after or with #prostatecancer and I love this guys classroom. It’s not bubblegum and balloons, but it’s not fire and brimstone either. It’s been a while since we’ve used his room. When we did, this wall was room of a project with pictures of artists and cars. Last night, it only had (2) things on it. Two important reminders. (1) for the students: his email. The other, I’m guessing was for him. It’s a simple question: “Is it good for kids?” Wow. What a lens to develop young people through... (at Morse Marshall) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1eWwVHz9A/?igshid=ylr5rrbl3kdp
