CCF 2022 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon

As a member of Team CCF you have an opportunity to transform lives in a direct and meaningful way. Each member of Team Colon Cancer Challenge has pledged to Make Their Miles Count by raising funds to support the Colon Cancer Foundation’s mission of a World Without Colorectal Cancer.

An estimated 149,500 Americans have been diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer in the US and 52,980 Americans have died from colon cancer in the US in 2021. On top of that, cancer screening rates have dropped more than one third since the start of the coronavirus pandemic. When you join Team Colon Cancer Challenge you join the fight against colorectal cancer and help us spread the word that colorectal cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable with early screening.

The Colon Cancer Foundation launched Team Colon Cancer Challenge in 2010 to:

Encourage colorectal cancer survivors to incorporate exercise into their everyday lives as a way to significantly reduce the rate of recurrence.

Provide a grassroots opportunity for colorectal cancer survivors and their family members to raise awareness and funds for colorectal cancer in their community, and offer those who have lost a loved one to colorectal cancer a positive and effective channel for their rallying cry against colorectal cancer.

Team Colon Cancer Challenge has raised more than $1,103,000 in support of efforts to raise awareness of colorectal cancer and the importance of early screening, prevention, and research.
