Lenny Cathcart honored for prostate cancer awareness advocacy

Councilor Steve Hockaday presents Lenny Cathcart
a resolution honoring his prostate cancer
awareness activities.

Plainfield legend Lenny Cathcart was honored by Councilor Steve Hockaday at Tuesday evening's Council meeting for his contributions to prostate cancer awareness.

Cathcart, known to generations of Plainfield youngsters for his involvement in youth sports, spoke of his own prostate cancer diagnosis, and urged men not to wait and not to be embarrassed, but to get their prostate cancer screening early.

Prostate cancer is one of the most successfully treated cancers if caught early enough, Hockaday read from the resolution.

Lenny Cathcart is hosting a Prostate Cancer Awareness event at City Hall today (Wednesday, September 12), from 6:00 - 8:00 PM, with screenings, information and drawing for prizes.
