Zero Prostate Cancer Run/Walk returns to Palm Desert in-person
Coachella Valley residents are invited to take part in the Zero Prostate Cancer Run/Walk to raise money and awareness for local patients.
Online registration is closed, but people can still register at the event.
The Zero Prostate Cancer Run/Walk aims to highlight men's health during National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.
The race is part of a national event series, including walks and runs in 50 other communities. According to the American Cancer Society, 1 in 8 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. Prostate cancer takes the life of an American man every 15 minutes.
According to organizers, this family-friendly event is an important way to unite to ZERO out prostate cancer. They say, our caring community will celebrate prostate cancer survivors and caregivers and honor those that have been lost to the disease.
There will be fun activities, including a special Kids Superhero Dash for Dad, to get everyone involved. See below for tomorrow's schedule.
