I'm one of the first ones to talk about it. I went through it myself, you know, some eight years ago, so I'm okay. And that's one of the things that I think Zero Prostate Cancer, the Blue Jacket Fashion Show does. At least I was able to get the word in early enough to where it hadn't advanced to the point to where it was irreversible and where something was too difficult to deal with here. So just the fact that we're doing work like this and visibility like this and getting the word out there, you know, so many people are alive today because of early detection, and that's what this is all about, is get this out there.
