Dash for Dad Buffalo 5K Run/Walk - Sunday, Sept. 13

Dash for DadLace up your sneakers and join us for the Dash for Dad Buffalo Race as it quickly becomes the preeminent national event aimed at ending prostate cancer by bringing together athletes, cancer survivors, physicians, caretakers, family members and friends for one common mission – to End Prostate Cancer.

ZERO – The Project to End Prostate Cancer, Cancer Care of Western New York, Main Urology Associates, and Western New York Urology Associates have teamed up to bring this national initiative to Western New York for the very first time! The Dash for Dad Race makes its debut in Buffalo on Sunday, September 13th at 10 a.m.in Delaware Park.

Nationwide, a man dies from prostate cancer every 18 minutes. But there is hope – education about prostate cancer risk and access to screenings can save countless lives. All proceeds go toward prostate cancer research in Western New York.

Join us on your own or recruit a team. Together we can make the 2009 Dash for Dad Race a great success! All proceeds benefit the non-profit organization ZERO – The Project to End Prostate Cancer.

Zero prostate cancer deaths. Zero prostate cancer cases and for those with prostate cancer it means a zero PSA. Our name conveys what we stand for – zero tolerance for prostate cancer. As ZERO, 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 journeys.
