This morning we headed out to the Orange County Fairgrounds for the Cruisin For A Cure<\/a> Car Show benefiting prostate cancer. This is a one day event to raise awareness of prostate cancer and encourage early detection. Free PSA tests are available and ALL the money raised goes to prostate cancer research. It is the #2 killer of men, surpassed only by heart disease.
