It was great to reconnect with Nathan Kirby after over a decade. Our families had both relocated—his to Sarasota and mine to DFW—and we hadn't seen each other since. We recently met at Juno & the Peacock in St. Pete, FL.
I first reached out to Nathan to leverage his local expertise in exploring the potential for an exclusive enclave vertical in Sarasota for CourMed? .

Recognizing Nathan's decisive nature—he's not one to stand idly by—I learned that he had taken the initiative to create a non-profit called Keep It Checked.
Early detection is a critical factor in improving prostate cancer outcomes. By detecting prostate cancer at an early stage, individuals have a better chance of successful treatment, improved survival rates, and a higher quality of life.
Having seen the impact of prostate cancer firsthand, Nathan is committed to raising awareness about the importance of early detection. By supporting his efforts, you're not just donating to a cause; you're joining a community dedicated to making a difference in the lives of men and their families. Your support can help ensure that more men have the opportunity for early diagnosis and successful treatment.

What priorities emerge when financial worries subside?
The answer, for most, is a profound shift towards family and health.
