"By increasing disease education and removing barriers to early detection, we can save lives and improve outcomes for individuals affected by this disease.”As the primary destination and trusted resource for the prostate cancer community, ZERO launched a new website taking prostate cancer education and support to new heights. ZERO’s site connects individuals with education, resources, and support based on their specific needs: where they live, who they are, and what stage of the journey they are in. As part of the website, ZERO is encouraging men to take an “Am I At Risk?” quiz to help identify their prostate cancer risks, promote regular screenings, and prioritize their prostate health. Other ways to get involved in September include attending one of 20 community ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walks, Black Men’s Film Series Screenings, and Educational and Screening Events held across the country. Providing another way to take action and make a difference is ZERO Prostate Cancer Day on September 28.
