Buffalo Grove Family Raises Cancer Awareness

A Buffalo Grove family is working to raise awareness about prostate cancer and invites residents to join them at a Sept. 15 fundraising walk.

Jerod Loeb, who was diagnosed at age 62, and his wife, Sherri, hope their experience will benefit others, according to a Patch announcement from Eve Swire.

 “Although you may be extremely bright and knowledgeable once you enter the health care system as a patient you tend to become deaf, dumb and blind,” Sherri Loeb said in the announcement.

Read the full announcement on Patch at SEA Blue Prostate Cancer Walk & Run on September 15 for more information about the Loebs’ experience and to learn more about the SEA Blue Prostate Cancer Run/Walk.
