A Screening That Made a Difference

Apr 22, 2025By Kevin King

Last year, I helped lead a PSA screening event at the Illinois Farm Bureau Annual Meeting in Chicago as part of City of Hope’s outreach. One of the men who came by our booth that day was Richard Carroll. He had never had a PSA test before—and that simple blood test led to a prostate cancer diagnosis that may have saved his life.

Richard recently shared his story with FarmWeek, and I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read it:

Illinois Farm Bureau Saved My Life

I’m incredibly grateful to have played a small role in Richard’s journey and proud of him for using his voice to help others. This is exactly why we do what we do.
