Sherry Galloway’s son Jeremy lost his battle in 2007 against advanced metastatic disease at the young age of 36, after 18 long months fighting the disease. This was not Sherry’s first experience with prostate cancer – her husband had previously been diagnosed in his early 50s and had successful surgery. When Jeremy initially experienced hip and bone pain, his doctors didn’t consider prostate cancer as the cause because he was so young. He as hospitalized with extreme anemia, underwent several tests and biopsies, and when he was finally given a PSA test, it came back at one hundred times more than the average suspicious level: PSA at 441.

During the period of her son’s illness, Sherry became involved with ZERO, frequently contacting the organization for their support and resources. She became an advocate for ZERO after her son's death, and in 2010, Sherry became a ZERO board member, after attending her third annual Summit in Washington, DC and testifying in front of the budget committee at the Department of Defense about the need for better diagnostics and treatment.

One year later, in 2011, Sherry organized the first Jeremy Paster Memorial ZERO Prostate Cancer Run/Walk in her home city of Albuquerque, NM. Her determination to raise awareness and funds for a cause so close to her heart has made a significant impact: she built “Team Jeremy” at various ZERO races around the U.S., and now has centered the Team in Southern California, where Jeremy grew up. More than $100,000 has been raised in memory of Jeremy Paster since Sherry began her alliance with ZERO.  The funds are used to support research programs within the Prostate Cancer Research Program of the Department of Defense, focusing on cutting edge research for screening and early detection and treatment to help men like her son. Funding the PCRP has led to new, life extending biopharmaceutical treatments, as well as screening for aggressive vs. static cancers, and better tools such as MRI guided biopsies.
