Join me in a quest to improve life for families living with cancer across multiple generations.

Support my effort to help the 1 in 270 who have a hereditary cancer syndrome.

$10 towards $1,500

I'm running with the DNA Dude, along with hundreds of others across the country!

Why should you support my 5K?

On November 26, I am going to either run or walk or strut or maybe even mosey 3.1 miles, on Fremont Street in Las Vegas, to raise funds for the hereditary colon cancer community.

Approximately 1 in 270 people are born with a form of hereditary colon cancer. I find it UNACCEPTABLE that 80% of these individuals are diagnosed AFTER they have cancer. Especially since, through early detection, a person's cancer risk can be significantly reduced and, in some cases, eliminated all together!

Your donation, whether it be $5 or $500, will provide critical funding to the Hereditary Colon Cancer Foundation and support programs that increase awareness of these conditions, improve provider education, and empower families who have the GUTS to take control of their lives!" Every $25 raised gives 5 families access to important resources AND provides free education on hereditary colon cancer syndromes to medical students.

The thousands of families who benefit from these programs thank you. The medical professionals serving this strong community thank you. The Hereditary Colon Cancer Foundation, thanks you. And I thank you because without you and your support people with hereditary colon cancer would not know about these resources; they wouldn't know that they can have a long, happy, healthy life. The Hereditary Colon Cancer Foundation brings life back into people who did not know where to go or what to do and so I truly am grateful for you and your support.

The Hereditary Colon Cancer Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose vision is to be a beacon of light - extending life expectancy, enhancing life quality, and instilling hope in those born with hereditary colon cancer syndromes.
