ZEROHour Newsletter: February 2019

Next week, more than 200 passionate patients, survivors, and loved ones will descend on Washington, D.C. for the ZERO Prostate Cancer Summit to protect and increase prostate cancer research funding.
In hundreds of meetings with members of Congress, we’ll continue the fight to increase $100M in research funding that has resulted in critical new treatments and diagnostics. In addition to research funding, we’ll also be fighting for access to screening for high-risk men and funding for education and awareness of prostate cancer in high-risk populations.
The Summit program features experts from around the country to provide the latest research developments and care for patients. We are so grateful to our amazing champions and can’t wait to see everyone in D.C.! Learn more about the Summit at our website.
Patient Spotlight: “Papa Caesar” Blevins
Caesar had stage IV prostate cancer. His doctor told him he wouldn’t live more than a couple years. His life depended on a medical breakthrough.
That breakthrough has come in the form of advanced prostate cancer treatments.
Eight years later, Caesar isn’t just surviving, he’s thriving. He’s here for his beautiful two granddaughters, and has never missed a day of work. Give to Support Research.
