ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer
|
|
|
Most of you know our physical therapist Colleen Little PT, DPT, OCS. Please help support a cause near and dear to her heart.
In an effort to help eliminate prostate cancer and to continue to honor Clive, I have teamed with ZERO and the Marine Corp Marathon.
Through some mutual acquaintances and certain twists of fate, I got in touch with Evan Denhart and ZERO - The End of Prostate Cancer. Recently I decided to join ZERO and the Prostate Cancer Endurance Team at the Marine Corps Marathon (Washington DC), on October 26, 2014, to help eliminate this horrible disease. Prostate Cancer is near and dear to me as it has touched many important men in my life.
ZERO – The End of Prostate Cancer is committed not only to reducing prostate cancer or alleviating the pain from the disease, but to end it. Ever year nearly 240,000 (1 in 7) men are diagnosed with prostate cancer and nearly 30,000 lives are lost to the disease.
Please check out my personal page and consider making a donation today. No amount is too small, and every amount is equally and greatly appreciated.
In health and to living each day like there is no tomorrow.
- Colleen Little
