Rick Lyke is the Founder of Pints for Prostates and he joined us for an interview on 9/12/24.
Pints for Prostates is a grassroots campaign that raises awareness about prostate cancer and the importance of early detection.
Rick himself was diagnosed with prostate cancer at the age of 47 and was successfully treated, after a friend of his encouraged him to get tested, even though he had no symptoms.
Pints for Prostates attends over 100 events across the U.S. annually, including the Denver Rare Beer Tasting on October 10th 2024. At these events men, transgender women and non-binary people can get a free PSA screening for early detection of prostate cancer.
Rick is also a craft beer lover, which makes this the perfect combination of 2 of his passions.
We had fun talking to Rick and we certainly learned a lot. Even though this is a serious topic, we had some laughs along the way and talked quite a bit about craft beer too - including the world famous Utopias from Sam Adams.
September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, so please listen and help us support Pints for Prostates by getting the word out to friends and family to get a PSA screening. You can also volunteer, donate, host and attend events.
Cheers! Steve and Scott.
