GET INVOLVED<\/p>\n\n

One Journey Can Help Change Another<\/h1>\n\n

\n Jonesing for the Journey began with our own unexpected change in direction.\n But it has grown into something bigger: a way to share what we are learning,\n encourage patients and caregivers, support prostate cancer advocacy, and\n remind people that none of us has to walk the difficult parts of life alone.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n You don\u2019t have to be a prostate cancer patient to make a difference.\n You simply have to care.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Together, we can pay hope forward.\n <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WHY GET INVOLVED?<\/p>\n\n

Because Awareness Can Change a Life<\/h2>\n\n

\n Too many people learn the questions they should have asked only after the\n moment has passed.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n That is one reason we share our journey so openly.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n When more people understand the importance of early detection, patient\n advocacy, asking questions, knowing their options, supporting caregivers,\n and staying engaged in their own care, we create opportunities for better\n conversations and better-informed decisions.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Getting involved can be as simple as sharing a story with someone who needs\n to hear it.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n It can also mean joining a fundraising team, supporting an advocacy\n organization, volunteering, donating, sharing educational resources, or\n helping amplify the voices of patients and caregivers.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Every action matters.\n <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

SHARE THE JOURNEY<\/p>\n\n

Sometimes Sharing Is the Most Important Thing You Can Do<\/h2>\n\n

\n One of the easiest ways to help costs nothing.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Share a Jonesing for the Journey video, article, guide, podcast episode,\n or social post with someone who might benefit from it.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n You never know who is quietly facing a diagnosis, supporting a spouse,\n waiting for test results, struggling through treatment, or wondering\n what question to ask next.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is simply help the right\n information reach the right person.\n <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

ASK ONE MORE QUESTION<\/p>\n\n

Help Us Spread the Message<\/h2>\n\n

\n Patient advocacy starts with curiosity.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n\n

Ask what the numbers mean.<\/p>\n

Ask what the alternatives are.<\/p>\n

Ask about risks and side effects.<\/p>\n

Ask what happens next.<\/p>\n

Ask what your doctor would consider if this were their own family.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n

\n And when something still doesn\u2019t make sense \u2014\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Ask one more question.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Help us carry that message into families, waiting rooms, workplaces,\n support groups, and communities.\n <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

ADVOCACY<\/p>\n\n

Support Prostate Cancer Advocacy<\/h2>\n\n

\n Advocacy creates change beyond any single patient.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n It can help expand awareness, encourage screening conversations, improve\n access to support, influence policy, fund research, and make sure the\n patient and caregiver perspective is heard.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n You can learn more about the work of ZERO Prostate Cancer and the many\n ways individuals can participate through our Team Jonesing fundraising page.\n <\/p>\n\n \n VISIT TEAM JONESING AT ZERO\n <\/a>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

EVERY ACTION MATTERS<\/p>\n\n

You Don\u2019t Have to Do Everything<\/h2>\n\n

You don\u2019t need a large audience.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t need to write a big check.<\/p>\n\n

\n Share one video.<\/span>\n Forward one resource.<\/span>\n Encourage one conversation.<\/span>\n Support one caregiver.<\/span>\n Join one walk.<\/span>\n Ask one more question.<\/span>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n Small actions have a way of traveling farther than we expect.\n <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n\n

PAYING HOPE FORWARD<\/p>\n\n

Help Us Turn Experience Into Purpose<\/h2>\n\n

\n Cancer changed the route we thought our lives would take.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n What it did not change was our ability to do something meaningful\n with the miles ahead.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Jonesing for the Journey is our way of turning experience into purpose \u2014\n and inviting others to come along.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n If something from our journey helps you, our hope is that someday\n you\u2019ll pass that hope forward to someone else.\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Real Life. Real Journeys. Real Hope.\n <\/p>\n\n
