Mical Roy is an educational leadership enthusiast, husband, father, prostate cancer-survivor, along with a passionate lobbyist.

While it came as a shock at the time, he later found out prostate cancer actually ran in his family. Now cancer-free with a new perspective on life, he is raising awareness on the importance of men sharing their experiences with prostate cancer – even if it can be uncomfortable.
