In the Community: The Andrew Zweig Ripple Run

Andrew Zweig was diagnosed with Stage IV prostate cancer when he was only 50 years old. Known by friends and family as “Papa Z,” he was close to everyone he met and a dedicated father, husband, and friend. For the next eight years, Andy fought. He fought for a cure for himself and his family. He dedicated his life and his body to studies so that his grandchildren wouldn’t have to know this cancer. Andy lost his battle in 2017, but left behind a legacy of giving.

This year, his family is continuing that legacy by honoring his memory with The Andrew Zweig Ripple Run in at Rockland Lake State Park in June. Read more of Andrew's story.

The cost of my care has turned my world upside down and put me in a depression trying to figure out how to pay for the treatment. We had to move out of the house and live in our camper trailer at a county park to keep up with the medical bills." - Ted, Stage IV prostate cancer patient

Every dollar of your gift will be matched. Donate today so men like Ted don’t have to be fighting alone and living in a camper. You can help support 80 prostate cancer patients in need by donating toward our lifesaving $20,000 goal.
