RALEIGH, NC – UNC REX Healthcare is proud to serve as the presenting sponsor of the inaugural Zero – The End of Prostate Cancer run/walk in Raleigh.
The event features a 5K run/walk, a 1-mile walk and a “kids’ superhero dash for dad.” The race is 7:45 a.m. Saturday, June 24, at the Associated Urologists of North Carolina, 3821 Ed Drive, Raleigh.
