Just a few weeks after happily being acclaimed as East-Zorra Tavistock Mayor, McKay was delt with devastating news. McKay, father of teenage girls underwent a test for prostate cancer,"Mine came up as cancerous and I will be undergoing treatment." He is encouraging other men to get it done, don't wait, "go and get tested, I had heard that challenge for several years before I stopped and got tested." Treatment will begin shortly and McKay is confident about the prognosis, "I am very optimistic that in the care that we have and the support from family and friends that I will be able to stand as a cancer survivor also."
