[Darryl]

#GivingTuesday is the nonprofit circus of begging.

Please consider Malecare as your ringmaster.

Help men live longer and happier lives by donating at malecare.org/donate

Malecare started and runs the online support community that you are part of.

Malecare is:

Is the nonprofit that developed the field of LGBT psycho-oncology, founded in 1997 by Darryl Mitteldorf, LCSW (me).

The only prostate cancer support network to have invented and patented a cancer-focused medical device

The only prostate cancer support network to have received NIH/NCI funding for a prostate cancer clinical trial.

The only prostate cancer support network staff to have authored or co-authored over twenty peer-reviewed and published articles, six book chapters and numerous conference abstracts and presentations.

The first prostate cancer support network to have created unique programs for Gay men (1998), African American men (2001), Advanced Prostate Cancer (2006) and Dual Cancer Diagnosed men (2017).

Malecare is responsible for leading advocacy for the patient right to determine visitors rather than hospitals, and restoration of CDC funding for prostate cancer research programs ($27.4 million)

Malecare now facilitates one of the most helpful prostate cancer patient annual conferences.

Malecare began publishing unique patient-focused booklets about life with prostate cancer (Videos will be online towards the end of December).

Malecare founded and creates international collaborations through the Global Prostate Cancer Alliance.

All of Malecare's services are provided free to everyone.

There's more I didn't mention like Malecare started the world's first cancer research crowdfunding platform in the mid-2000's and created the widely used iOS app, Cancergraph.

I can also share what we don't do...we don't take millions (and the forced influence) from pharmaceutical companies, we don't pay our Director, me, insanely large salaries, like $320,000 or $1,600,000. We don't waste money on fundraising events and fruitless self-promotions. To support our work, we beg. And, today, during the circus that is #GivingTuesday, I am begging you to consider donating to Malecare to create action, hope and gratitude. Please donate at malecare.org/donate

Thank you.
