Eubanks has joined forces with ZERO, the nation’s leading advocacy and support organization for prostate cancer awareness, as a brand ambassador. He shares his deeply personal prostate cancer journey. What began as a routine photo opportunity during a health fair led to a life-changing diagnosis when his PSA test came back high. Despite years of regular doctor visits and a family history of prostate cancer, Eubanks discovered that his elevated PSA levels had been overlooked in past medical records.
