Historic Victory for Prostate Cancer: Congress Adds $10 Million for Research Program

We did it! In a historic victory for prostate cancer research, the Prostate Cancer Research Program (PCRP) has received its first increase in funding in over a decade and is now funded at $90M!

We could not have achieved this victory without the dedicated advocates on our team. Thanks to your hard work, we are one step closer to much-needed research that will improve the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer and one day end suffering from the disease once and for all.

Run/Walk to Save Lives!

“The ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk rallies communities and gives participants a voice in the fight to end prostate cancer.” – Jamie Bearse

This year our Run/Walk series will visit more than 40 cities across the country to promote awareness for prostate cancer and encourage men to be informed about their risk. Participants at each event will receive tech shirts, free food and prizes, and the opportunity to connect with others who are impacted by prostate cancer. 

“It wasn’t until I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and got involved in the ZERO Run/Walk that I realized how prevalent the disease is. I was surprised by how many peole I knew were touched by it, or had lost a man to it, and just hadn’t openly discussed it before.” – Scott Moore, prostate cancer survivor and Run/Walk participant

We’re kicking things off June 3 in Chicago! Check out the rest of our locations and sign up today.

Celebrate Father’s Day with Thirty Days for Dad

In 2017, one in eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. Next month we’re celebrating Men’s Health Month and Father’s Day with 30 Days for Dad – an opportunity to honor the men and fathers who are prostate cancer patients and survivors.

Want to join us during 30 Days for Dad? Consider creating your own event with ZERO DIY or make a donation in your father’s name! If you’re in El Paso, Wichita, or DC, join us on Father’s Day for a Run/Walk. You can also honor your loved on on social media using the hashtag #DoItForDad.
