The 2023 Run/Walk Season Has Begun!
Our 2023 ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk season officially kicked off in Memphis on Saturday, April 2! Dozens of attendees came out to help in the fight to end prostate cancer, and over $45,000 was raised in support of the event. The Urology Group, P.C., the host practice for the Memphis Run/Walk, can’t wait for an even bigger and better future for the race event.
We also hosted our Run/Walk in Atlanta on Saturday, April 15. With more Run/Walks than ever before, 2023 is the perfect time to take part in an event.
New Podcast Dropping This Month
ZERO’s “We’re Not Gonna Take It” series continues with the release of our latest podcast, featuring an interview between Twisted Sister’s Jay Jay French and The Commodores’ William King. Airing during National Minority Health Month, this episode, produced in partnership with Bayer, highlights William’s personal prostate cancer journey, while also featuring a deep-dive into the role that a patient’s support network plays in their experience. William’s story is informative, inspirational, and emotional—you don’t want to miss out. Look for it later this month.
(This content is brought to you in partnership with Bayer.)
