Top Team Fundraiser

The Top Team Fundraiser Award recognizes a Run/Walk team who has gone above and beyond with their fundraising efforts to support ZERO's mission.

Forsburg 40

The FORSBURG 40 does it again! They are once more the largest team in the 2024 Run/Walk, boasting 301 participants. This powerhouse team consistently goes above and beyond, securing their position as the top fundraising team for the Harrisburg Run/Walk. 

Team captain Pat Forsburg is always eager to raise awareness for prostate cancer in any way he can. Since 2012, Pat Forsburg and The FORSBURG 40 have been an incredible force, raising over $20,000 in 2024 alone and more than $180,000 since joining ZERO’s mission.

This One’s for Terry

Team 'This One’s for Terry,' the largest team for our South Florida ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk with 37 participants, is led by Susie Schlernitzauer, who has participated in this event since 2013. Susie is a leader of the event as an active committee member, always striving to make the race bigger and bolder each year. After her brother Terry’s diagnosis, Susie promised him she’d do everything she could to fight the disease. 

Year after year, Susie works tirelessly recruiting teams, fundraising, and organizing the event. Whether it’s organizing a fundraiser, spreading prostate cancer awareness, or advocating for increased research funding, Susie does it with grace and passion. She fights for other patients in honor of her brother, Terry, and won’t stop until there’s an end to the disease. Since 2018, they have raised over $125,000.

Patrick Merli

Patrick Merli is the captain of Team 'You Got This' in the Charlotte Run/Walk. Diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2021, Patrick discovered ZERO in his quest to raise awareness and support others facing the disease. 

In 2024, Patrick moved to Charleston, SC, and joined the committee of The Lowcountry Open fishing tournament, which benefits ZERO. This year, with the support of his family, friends, and the tournament committee, Team 'You Got This' raised more than $20,000 to support ZERO's mission and ensure no one fights alone.
