One Sure Way to Have Fun on October 23, 2016
by Robert Warren Hess
If you like to drive cars, you should explore the world of autocross. This is a low-speed event that tests driver skill weaving through a course marked by orange cones. There is a class for virtually every type of vehicle. People even compete using their family sedan. It’s all about fun.
For us here at the Cancer Journeys Foundation, though, it’s about fun, cancer awareness, and generating funds to support the 12.5 million cancer survivors living in the United States.
Experience Autocross for Free
We’ll be at Fontana Sunday morning in our bright yellow livery – see our 378 car below. If you are 18 or over, you can ride in the car with us and experience autocross right from the front seat.
We get just three runs, which means three people can catch a ride. If you’re interested, send an email to “ride.along @ cancerjourneysfoundation.org” and we’ll reserve a spot for you.

Your Two Next Steps
- Prostate cancer doesn’t care, but we do. Begin taking a PSA blood test for prostate cancer at age 35 and personally test the results using our free tool at www.ProstateTracker.org.
- Meet us at Fontana on the 23rd and have some fun!

Cancer Hates a Healthy Body – So, Let's Just Do IT®
We all know Nike's famous slogan to get off the couch and do something. That slogan is especially appropriate for cancer survivors because diet and exercise are the two key factors that every cancer survivor controls.
Cancer hates a fit body because a fit body has an active immune system that works 24 x 7 to keep cancer cells from developing and spreading.
Walking
Walking is the easiest and least expensive exercise program you can find. All you need to do is to put on your most comfortable shoes – other than those cushy slippers – and head out the door.
It's always easier to walk with someone else. So, we're creating walking events where cancer survivors can meet, walk, and inspire each other.
Bicycling
It seems that every health commercial you see on television shows someone bicycling. And for good reason. Almost all of us learned to bicycle at an early age. Bicycling is easy, pretty inexpensive [we'll show you how in another post], and a great way to see some scenery as you get in those exercise minutes.
Virtually every community has a local bicycle shop that would love to connect you with a local bicycle club that will be delighted to welcome you aboard and get you started.
Health officials are encouraging staying in during the early COVID-19 period (we are writing this in early May 2020) so we are creating a weekly program of indoor cycling using the Zwift indoor cycling app. Please check our event schedule for our weekly ride.
Stay well!
