Form MC‑01 · Unfiled

The checkup my dad never booked.

I lost my father the year I turned eighteen. Nobody told him that a single appointment could have changed the end of that story. So I’m telling every man in North America instead — and I’m giving you music to help me do it.

This is not medical advice. The Men’s Checkup is an awareness campaign, not a clinic and not a medical service. Nothing here diagnoses, treats, or tells you whether to be screened — for any medical question or concern, speak with a doctor or qualified healthcare professional.

Section A Patient statement · read in full
A.1

I was still a boy when I became a man.

A while back, I lost my dad. I had just turned eighteen. The loss hit me like a freight train, and I had to grow up almost overnight — and honestly, I never got to mourn him properly. Losing a dad is a pain I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.

I’m in my forties now, and I still get those moments — standing in the middle of a problem — thinking: “if dad were here, he’d know what to do.” I still think that.

A.2

Every year we lose men who had everything left to give

Not in accidents. Not in ways anyone saw coming. Men who were still needed as fathers — the men who keep this continent running. City workers. The drivers who move our food. Doctors, lawyers, plumbers. Dads. Gone.

Most of them didn’t die because medicine failed them. They died because nobody told them the door existed. A regular exam. A screening conversation with a doctor. Thirty minutes out of a Tuesday.

the appointment he never made / the years we never got

A.3

So we’re going to tell them

The Men’s Checkup runs ads that speak to men in their own language, in their own feeds, at the hours they actually scroll — telling them plainly that getting examined is what a man does for the people who depend on him. Your support is what pays for those ads.

and you get the music I wrote for him

Section B · The record

Late detection is the killer.

Heart disease is still the number one killer of men in North America — and the risk factors behind it are found by the same routine visit most men skip. Prostate cancer is the quieter one. Both are survivable when they’re found early. Neither announces itself.

It grows silently

Prostate cancer usually has no symptoms in its early stages. A man can feel completely fine and still need the conversation. Feeling fine is not evidence.

The gap between men and women

US life expectancy in 2024: 76.5 years for men vs 81.4 for women — a gap of 4.9 years (CDC/NCHS). A large share of it sits in causes that a routine visit touches.

Nobody told them

The men dying now weren’t reckless. They were busy, self-reliant, and never told that this door was open to them. That is the only thing we’re trying to fix.

Section C · The exchange

Section F · Questions

Before you decide

+ Is this medical advice? Are you telling me I have cancer?
No, and no. This campaign doesn’t diagnose anyone and doesn’t tell you what test to get. It exists to get men through the door — the conversation with a doctor is where the decisions belong. Talk to your physician about what screening is right for you and when.
+ I paid $2. What exactly do I get?
One downloadable audio file of “I Miss You Old Man”, sent to your email immediately after checkout. It’s yours to keep and play as you like, forever — a personal licence that never expires, whatever you decide afterwards. You do not need to keep paying, you do not need an app, and there is nothing to cancel. If it never arrives, you get your money back.
+ Why does the album come one song at a time?
Two honest reasons. First, it keeps me working — six months of support keeps ads running instead of one good week. Second, I want you to actually listen to the songs instead of losing twelve files in a folder. One a month, each one yours forever.
+ What if I stop paying for the album?
Everything you’ve already received stays yours. No clawbacks, no locked files, no guilt trip. The songs already given are yours permanently.
+ Was this made with AI?
Yes, and I’ll say it plainly: the words, the story, and the melodies are mine, written between 25 and 30 years ago from my own life. AI carried the production load — the arrangement and the instruments I could never afford to hire. I’d rather tell you that up front than have you wonder.

Production was created with an AI music tool, and we hold the commercial rights to distribute everything offered here. The lyrics and melodies are my own original work.
+ Where does my money go?
Mostly into advertising that reaches men directly with the message that this appointment exists. See the breakdown in Section D above. As the campaign grows, the ad share grows with it.
+ Can I get a tax receipt?
Not yet — and I’d rather tell you that than promise something that isn’t in place. If and when the campaign is able to issue charitable receipts, everyone on the list gets told first. Also worth knowing: in both the US and Canada, receiving something of value (like an album) for a payment reduces or eliminates the deductible portion. We describe this as support for a campaign, not as a donation.
+ I’m a man in my 40s — what should I actually do?
Book the appointment. Ask your doctor what routine screening looks like for your age and history, including whether a prostate conversation is right for you. Bring your blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar numbers. If anything runs in your family, say so out loud. That’s the whole campaign, in one paragraph.
