The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge hosts run and walk challenges in 32 cities nationwide. In 2008, Nashville was added to the roster. This year, the race has continued to expand to the cities of Miami and Los Angeles, and the numbers keep growing! Funds raised from The Great Prostate Cancer Challenge and Dash for Dad races are used to educate the community about prostate cancer, conduct research, and provide free testing.
Those that are interested in this great cause are encouraged to donate, volunteer, and write Congress to increase federal funding in support of prostate cancer awareness. For more information about ZERO and how to support prostate cancer research, please visit their website.
