Mark your calendars for Saturday, Oct. 18, 2025, and join the Salon Veritas team at the ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk at NC State Campus – Lake Raleigh! We’ll be walking and running to honor fathers, sons, husbands, brothers, partners, and friends affected by prostate cancer, and we’d love for you to be part of our team. Bring your family, your friends, or just yourself—every step counts.
Earlier this year, Ashley, owner of Salon Veritas, received the difficult news that her father had been diagnosed with prostate cancer. For Ashley, this cause is deeply personal.
Seeing my dad face this diagnosis has been one of the most emotional experiences of my life. Joining this run is my way of standing with him and with all the men fighting prostate cancer. It’s about hope, support, and making a real difference for families like mine.” – Ashley

About ZERO Prostate Cancer
Zero Stigma. Zero Barriers.
ZERO Prostate Cancer is on a mission to improve and save lives from prostate cancer through advocacy, awareness, education, and support. They are the nation’s #1 provider of prostate cancer resources and serve as the voice of the prostate cancer community, advancing a future where detection is early, support is unwavering, and care is accessible to all.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in men after skin cancer. When caught early, the five-year survival rate is nearly 100 percent. While prostate cancer is treatable, not all cases require immediate treatment. Staging helps determine which treatment options may be right for each individual.
A prostate cancer diagnosis can be emotionally challenging. It’s important to know that resources, support, and information are always available for patients and families navigating this difficult journey.
