Walking for 20 years to Save Black Men’s Lives
2023 marks a major milestone for NCUS.
We have been walking for 20 years with the goal of saving black men’s lives. Our events feature free health screenings so men can learn their numbers.
Our walk has now gone nationwide, with people joining the movement from coast-to-coast.
