Mish Middelmann was the founding CEO of high-tech start-up Praxis Computing before bringing ORSC to Africa and joining CRR Global’s faculty. He was an apparently very fit and healthy 61-year-old when he was lucky enough to be diagnosed with prostate cancer before it spread.  Bewildered by the complete absence of a roadmap for recovery from the side effects of his treatment, Mish created www.recoveringman.net, where he, his partner and many other prostate cancer survivors share their stories as they unfold. This has also led to a global Recovering Men support group—a space of live conversation, vulnerable strength and openness.
