Zero Prostate Cancer Run/Walk: Ending Prostate Cancer One Step At A Time

The Zero Prostate Cancer Run/Walk has been postponed due to inclement weather expected from Hurricane Florence this weekend.

CHARLOTTE, NC — Charlotte is joining the national movement to end prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is a very common cancer and is the second most deadly cancer. Approximately 30,000 people die every year from this type of cancer.

Men age 50 and above should be screened and examined annually, but are asked to start at age 40 if they are a minority or have a family history of prostate cancer.

The Zero Prostate Cancer Run/Walk will be held in the morning on Saturday, September 15 at Toringdon Circle Shopping Center in South Charlotte. Click HERE for more information on the Zero Prostate Cancer Run/Walk.

The event is for adults, kids and families. Survivors will be recognized and share their stories during the event, as well.

Doctor Nasfat Shehadeh and Eddie Goodall who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2005 stopped by Rising to talk more about the event and how minorities are more likely to become diagnosed with prostate cancer.
