Manhattan Beach, United States - May 23, 2018 /PressCable/ —
Angeles-based Sundaram Applied Technologies has joined as a sponsor for the inaugural 2018 Tour de USA® for Prostate Cancer. The event is a dual World Record attempt for the longest charity road rally and the charity road rally with the most participants. The rally begins on August 15, 2018 and ends back in Los Angeles on September 19th after traveling through 21 states and driving 9,341 miles in 36 days, right in the middle of National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
Manhattan Beach resident and Cancer Journeys Foundation President Robert Hess created the Tour de USA® road rally as a way to dramatically reduce America’s annual prostate cancer death toll and highlight the support needs of America’s 15+ million cancer survivors.
Said Hess, “Prostate cancer claims the lives of almost 28,000 American men every year because these men don’t know they have the disease in time for effective treatment. The mission of the 2018 Tour de USA® is to make certain men know about the prostate cancer risk (one in seven men will have the disease) and about the Foundation’s simple prostate cancer risk awareness tool, ProstateTracker App.”
The Tour de USA® begins on August 15, 2018 and ends back in Los Angeles, after 36 days and 9,341 miles on the road. The team will be be carrying a GPS tracker so people all across the US will be able to follow the Tour in real time on the Internet and join the drivers on the road as they come through each state. Event details are available on the Tour de USA® website at https://TourdeUSA.Events.
Anyone is able to participate in this world record attempt. Interested people sign can register on the Tour de USA website. Participants can meet the Tour de USA at the start of each day, at the mid-day rendezvous point, or at the end the day’s drive. Cancer Journeys Foundation Founder Robert Hess will be doing a live stream broadcast twice each day and cancer survivors and caregivers are encouraged to meet him and tell their cancer journey story.
Says Hess, “We’re especially excited to have Sundaram Applied Technologies as a Sponsor,” said Hess. “Our goal with the Tour de USA® is to reach as many men as possible with the prostate cancer risk and early detection message. Sundaram Applied Technologies’ support is helping make the rally possible.” “In fact, Sundaram Applied Technologies’ CEO, Prem Sundaram, played a key role in developing our prostate cancer early detection system – ProstateTrackerApp.com.
