ZERO — The Project to End Prostate Cancer
Our name conveys what we stand for – zero tolerance for prostate cancer.
At ZERO — The Project to End Prostate Cancer, we commit ourselves not only to reduce prostate cancer or alleviate the pain from the disease, but to end it.
We see a future where all men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer will be cured or manage their illness with good quality of life, with the support they
need to minimize physical and emotional suffering, and to cope effectively throughout their cancer journey.
To accomplish our goal, we provide comprehensive treatment information to patients, education to those at risk and we conduct thousands of free prostate cancer
tests each year. We increase research funds from the federal government to find new treatments, and we fund local grants to end the disease.
