Sen. Yager completes skydive to raise awareness for prostate cancer
On Monday, October 7, State Senator Ken Yager (R-Kingston) jumped out of an airplane at 14,000 ft above ground to celebrate over one year of being cancer-free and raise awareness for prostate cancer. Sen. Yager was diagnosed with prostate cancer in September of 2022. Since then, he has been a strong advocate for men to proactively get regular prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests, which Yager says saved his life. As the 2023 Men’s Health Man-of-the-Year, Yager partnered with Tennessee Men’s Health Network (TMHN) and completed the jump with TMHN Executive Director Mike Leventhal.
