Spring Into Action for Patients in Need

Spring Into Action for Patients in Need

Prostate cancer patients in desperate need are reaching out for financial and emotional support in urgently increasing numbers. ZERO360, the only free, individualized support program of its kind, has experienced a heartbreaking 145% increase in patient support requests over the past year. This unprecedented increase means more prostate cancer patients can't pay for their treatments, medications, and other expenses and are at risk of falling through the cracks. Funding for this crucially important program is needed now more than ever as thousands more patients and families face the difficulty of a prostate cancer diagnosis.

You can help ensure that the growing group of patients have access to resources, support, and community during their time of urgent need. Make a gift today, and provide a lifeline for patients and families with nowhere else to turn.

Meet Eric Morrow

Eric Morrow, an Air Force Veteran with a family history of prostate cancer, took initiative to ask about early testing. However, it wasn't until the screening age was lowered to 45 that Eric discovered he had Stage 3B prostate cancer. Now on the other side of treatment, Eric has become a huge advocate for increasing early screening. ZERO is always looking for individuals like Eric who want to share their stories and experiences with others. » Become a ZERO Champion
