One in nine fathers, sons, husbands, brothers, partners, and friends will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, including 4,060 men in Massachusetts this year alone.

My dad was one of the unfortunate many that was diagnosed two years ago. Since then, he has undergone multiple treatments and is still fighting the battle. Despite the disappointment through it all, my dad has put on a brave face. Now, I have the opportunity to help him fight this disease and give back to the organization that assisted him through these difficult times.

Therefore, I have decided to participate in the ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk to show support for my dad, and for all the other men and families out there who have been affected by this cancer. I want to help put an end to prostate cancer so no father, son, husband, brother, partner, or friend ever experiences this.
