Officer Pressley is participating in the The Foundation at Murray Calloway County Hospital Men in Pink Fundraiser.

"This is something that hits close to home for me.
I’m proud to be participating in Men in Pink through the Murray State University Police Department and to stand alongside others in our community to support those affected by cancer.
Cancer has personally affected both my family and my fiancée’s family. I lost my father and grandmother to cancer at a young age. My fiancée’s family has also experienced this loss with their beloved Uncle Al.
Those experiences have shown me that cancer doesn’t just affect the person fighting it. It affects their family, their friends, and everyone who stands beside them.
I’m proud to wear pink, honor those we’ve lost, support those still fighting, and help raise awareness for a cause that means so much to my family.
Every donation goes toward the purchase of a PET scan machine for our local cancer center!
Together, we fight."
