People often ask what motivated me to start a foundation. Well, I learned that because of the genetic nature of this disease, my sons face a 33% greater probability of developing prostate cancer. Instantly I knew that this is not the legacy I want to leave my sons! So, I did what any man would do when the health, security or peace of his family is threatened, I rose up and took action! I founded Tony’s Prostate Cancer Research foundation to eradicate the disease and eliminate the threat to my sons, my grandsons and generations of men I will never know.

Unlike most foundations formed around medical causes, I’m not looking for breakthrough treatments, new surgical techniques or the next best medication to control the effects of this disease. Tony's Prostate Cancer Research was established to raise awareness and support the work of individual Research Scientists focused on discovering a non-invasive cure for prostate cancer. Thanks to the generous people of Houston, Tony’s Prostate Cancer Research foundation has raised over $1.5 million dollars to fund this groundbreaking work at the nation’s leading cancer center.

Each day we are getting closer to the cure. We’ve made promising strides with the discovery of a cancer suppressing protein known as GLIPR1 The research conducted by Dr. Timothy Thompson of the GLIPR1 protein has been so effective towards eradicating cancer in a laboratory setting, that we’re on course to offer it for human testing in 12 to 18 months!

I believe that there are two key elements to fighting this deadly disease: creating awareness and funding. Throughout this website you’ll find information, inspiration and meaningful opportunities for you to get involved in making prostate cancer history. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your support in spreading the word that there is hope for a cure within our lifetime.
