2022 Colon Cancer Challenge

Join the Fight Against Colorectal Cancer

I'm participating in the 2022 Colon Cancer Challenge to support the Colon Cancer Foundation's vision to create a world without colorectal cancer. I am asking you to support this great organization by making a donation or joining up for the cause. 

The Colon Cancer Challenge offers a 5K & 1 mile walk through Flushing Meadows Corona Park. Participants can compete solo or in teams participating in either the 5K run or the 1 mile remembrance and prevention walk.

Each $35 donation will pay for a life-saving cancer screening kit for one underinsured person and help us reach our goal of screening 10,000 people in 2022. Join us and help our community! 

Did you know?

• Colorectal cancer is the nation's second leading cancer killer of women and men when combined.
• Over the next 15 years the number of colorectal cases is expected to rise more than 60%.
• 1 in 20 people will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
• 1 in 3 people over the age of 45 are not up to date with the recommended colorectal cancer screening.

Thank you for your consideration!
