Through the trusted platform of faith-based and community-focused media, Curt shared the mission of Curt Cares and the vision behind the growing AskDad™ initiative.

Drawing from his personal experience as a prostate cancer survivor, Curt spoke openly about how his diagnosis changed his life and inspired him to establish Curt Cares, Inc.
