More than 5,340 men in Ohio will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year alone, that is one in every nine men, according to the ZERO organization.

“We’re making prostate cancer a national priority. The Run/Walk series is a way to mobilize the prostate cancer community and raise funds for patient support programs to ensure that no man has to face prostate cancer alone.”
