April 5, 2021My name is Trever Sparrow and when I first got involved with Ride for Dad in 2015, it was a way for me to give back to my community and to do my part to raise awareness for Prostate Cancer. Being an avid motorcycle rider is much more than a hobby for me because of the feeling of freedom, comradery among other enthusiasts, and the sense of community that I get. I have met some of the most amazing people because of riding motorcycles.
Little did I know that my involvement with Ride for Dad would come full circle when in November 2019 and at the age of 44, I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Prostate Cancer. Now, as a survivor of Prostate Cancer, being involved with The Ride for Dad brings extra special meaning to the cause we serve.
Luckily for me, I had no signs/symptoms but because of early detection through the PSA blood test, I am proof that early detection is the key to treating Prostate Cancer and continuing to live a long and fulfilling life. To all the husbands, fathers, sons, uncles, and brothers, get the blood test. It’s a simple test that will save your life. #getthebloodtest
