Benefiting Research to find a Non-Invasive Cure of Prostate Cancer at

Dear Friend;

          On behalf of Tony's Prostate Cancer Research, I want to thank you for your continued support. It wasn't long after receiving my diagnosis of prostate cancer that I founded TPCR (www.TPCR.org) to fund the cure I couldn't find. Since 2001, and because of the generosity of the people of Houston, over $2.7 Million has been raised to support the on-going research for the cure of prostate cancer at the internationally acclaimed University of Texas, M D Anderson Cancer Center. I personally oversee the distribution of the funds entrusted to me and make sure that all donations, past , present and future will always be directed towards Research to find a non-invasive Cure for Prostate Cancer, which we firmly believe will lead to a cure for all cancers.

          The research supported by TPCR made a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH in its discovery of GLIPR1 - a protein that acts as a natural suppressor to cancer development. As a protein it represents a non-toxic treatment for prostate cancer. it has been proven 100% effective in protecting against the growth of cancer in exposed animals, suppressing the continued growth of existing cancer cells and eliminating prostate cancer tumors in a laboratory setting with no side effects. MDA is proceeding through the process with the FDA for safety testing and eventually clinical trials. The cure we have been seeking could be on the horizon !!!

          I recently and humbly accepted the following awards and recognitions, in honor of all the faithful volunteers and generous supporters of TPCR;

• The 2010 Jefferson Award for my philanthropic efforts with TPCR. This prestigious award was created by Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and is considered the Nobel Prize for the common man.
• Tony's Prostate Cancer Research nomination as the Outstanding Philanthropic Foundation for 2010, presented by the Association of Fund Raising Professionals Greater Houston Chapter.
• The official proclamation by Houston Mayor, Anise Parker, declaring September 14th "Tony Masraff Day in Houston" for TPCR’s work in advancing the research towards the cure of prostate cancer and for my work as Patient Advocate in support of cancer patients and their loved ones..

          Based upon my past & recent experiences as a Patient Advocate, I believe that we may never see a cure for either Prostate or Breast Cancer, without the advocacy and financial support from the Private Sector. Won't you join me in making the cure for prostate cancer a part of your enduring legacy? I believe that together we can close in on the cure for prostate cancer in my lifetime.
