From Awareness to Action: How We’re Making a Difference

The Problem

Lives are being cut short by colon cancer, and many of these deaths could be prevented through early detection and screening.

Colorectal cancer is now the no. 1 cause of cancer related deaths for men and women under age 50.

How We Help

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 Impact

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.

Signs & Symptoms

Colon cancer symptoms can be confusing. Common stomach ailments or changes in bowel habits are common, but they don’t always mean that you have a serious condition. Learn the symptoms and contact your provider if symptoms persist or you have more than one symptom.

Signs and Symptoms

Screening Options

Early diagnosis is crucial for surviving colorectal cancer. Colorectal cancer is treatable and beatable when detected in its early stages through screening. Learn the many different screening options and which may be appropriate for you.
