Today is International Men's Day, and we're proud to celebrate the positive contributions men make to their families, communities, and the world. That's why, as the nation's leading nonprofit focused on prostate cancer advocacy, awareness, and patient support, we're taking our commitment to men's health international with our newly announced Peaks Challenge. This extraordinary initiative invites mission-driven adventurers, patients, and survivors to join us in conquering Mount Kilimanjaro. Our 8-day, 45-mile expedition along the famed Lemosho Route to the 19,341-ft summit is more than just a physical challenge—it's a powerful metaphor for the journey many men face when dealing with prostate cancer. Be a part of this extraordinary journey! Learn more at zerocancer.org/hike. #ZEROProstateCancer #InternationalMensDay #ZEROPeaksChallenge #MensHealth

Urgent Call to Action: Protect Veterans' Prostate Cancer Care ???? Since 2016, the VA's Precision Oncology Program for Cancer of the Prostate (POPCaP) has been at the forefront of providing specialized care for Veterans battling prostate cancer. This innovative program, developed in partnership with the Prostate Cancer Foundation, delivers: ?? State-of-the-art therapies through clinical trials ?? Comprehensive genetic sequencing for metastatic cases ?? Specialized care at over 20 locations nationwide However, this vital program faces a critical challenge. The VA is considering merging POPCaP with other oncology programs, potentially limiting Veterans' access to specialized prostate cancer care. As advocates for prostate cancer awareness and treatment, we must act now. Your voice can help preserve this essential program and ensure our Veterans continue receiving the specialized care they deserve. Take action by emailing your legislator in one click at p2a.co/00wCF2X. #ZEROProstateCancer #VeteransHealth #ProstateCancer #Healthcare #Veterans #SavePOPCaP
