The Strides for Life Colon Cancer Foundation mission is the prevention and early detection of colon cancer. Our purpose is to RISE (research, inspire, screen & educate).
We are here to support you. If you're interested in being screened for colon cancer, but have concerns about paying for the screening, you are not alone. There is hope!
We are dedicated to raising funds to assist those less fortunate and in need of colonoscopies. Our annual events are a great way to support the foundation and have a good time too.
Colon cancer affects both men and women, in fact approximately 50,000 people die every year from colon cancer. It is an equal opportunity disease that does not discriminate against gender or race. Your age, not your gender, is the single most important risk factor for colorectal cancer. With early screening and detection colon cancer is 90% curable.
