By David Kornguth, MD – Zero Prostate Cancer Run

As a physician at Golden Gate Urology (GGU), I see the human toll of prostate cancer on a daily basis. All of us at GGU seek to help patients and their families stay healthy. This is the reason why my colleagues and I decided to sponsor an event benefitting men and their families who face prostate cancer and draw awareness to prostate cancer prevention and screening.

The ZERO Prostate Cancer Run is the first Bay Area prostate cancer run. It’s part of the ZERO Prostate Cancer Challenge, that brings together athletes, physicians, cancer survivors, and those who care about them to help fund research to end prostate cancer and to provide free testing and education.

The June 15th event includes fun and interactive activities to educate and raise awareness of the disease. In addition to the 5K run/walk, we are organizing a shorter walk that allows patients to learn about prostate cancer in a healthy environment. Click here to read the full blog post by Dr. Kornguth
