"ZERO Prostate Cancer applauds renowned travel expert Rick Steves for his courageous decision to share his prostate cancer journey publicly. His announcement serves as a call to action for men everywhere to take charge of their prostate health through early detection.

More than half of prostate cancer cases are diagnosed in men aged 65 or older, with the risk increasing after age 50. Steves' story underscores a critical message: knowledge and early detection are our strongest tools in the fight against this disease.

ZERO Prostate Cancer admires and encourages Steves’ positive attitude about life and health as he navigates his cancer journey. With Prostate Cancer Awareness Month just days away, Steves’ impactful disclosure couldn’t be more timely. We’re confident that his story will inspire more people to learn about prostate cancer and more lives will be saved."

—Courtney Bugler, ZERO Prostate Cancer CEO & President
