Get educated, find your local community, and join our grassroots movement as we work together to end colon cancer.
Although it is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States, it’s not often talked about. Understanding the disease is important both for those who have been diagnosed with it as well as those trying to prevent it.
Lives are being cut short by colon cancer, and many of these deaths could be prevented through early detection and screening.
Colorectal cancer is currently the no. 2 cancer killer and is estimated to be the no. 1 cause of cancer-related deaths for those under 50 by 2030.
We raise awareness and funds nationwide through our signature Get Your Rear in Gear 5K Run/Walk series, National Tour de Tush Bike Ride, and Community Events put on by passionate volunteers like you!
The money raised at each event stays local to prevent early deaths by increasing screening rates, reducing health disparities, educating the community, supporting local patients and survivors, and funding research.
Colon cancer symptoms can be confusing. Common stomach ailments or a change in bowel habits are common occurrences. However, they don’t always mean that you have a serious condition such as colorectal cancer. Learn about the symptoms. Contact your provider when symptoms persist, or more than one symptom is present.
Signs and Symptoms
Early diagnosis is crucial for surviving colon cancer. Colorectal cancer is treatable and beatable when detected in its early stages through screening. Know when to get screened, the risk factors, and whether there are in-clinic or at-home options.
Screening Options
Knowing when to get screened for colorectal cancer (CRC) is crucial for early detection and prevention. Knowing when to get screened can make a difference and save your life.
When to get screened
When it comes to understanding your risk for certain types of cancer, knowing your family history can be incredibly valuable. Collecting this information isn’t as daunting as it may seem – it’s simple as having a conversation with your loved ones.
Family HistoryRaise awareness and support those affected by colorectal cancer in your community.
Our 5K Run/Walk events bring local communities together to raise colon cancer awareness, support patients/survivors and caregivers, remember those we’ve lost, advocate for early detection through screening, and fundraise for education and screening.
