Keep Your Funds Local

Get Your Rear in Gear grants create and fund programs in communities across North America to remove barriers to screening, educate the public about signs and symptoms, reduce patients’ financial burden, and fund research to fight colon cancer.

The funds YOU raise stay in your community to make a local impact!

Ride with purpose this May 1–31. Join cyclists from across North America as we come together to raise awareness and fund critical research to end colon cancer. Every mile makes a difference.
