As an athlete and prostate cancer survivor, he understands the importance exercise contributes to one’s health,” said Jonathan Simons, MD, PCF president and CEO. “Over thirty percent of all cancer is preventable with healthy lifestyle habits such as integrating regular, daily exercise. Coming off a year when the coronavirus pandemic limited our physical activity makes ‘Go the Distance’ the perfect opportunity to encourage Americans to resume an active, healthy life.”
