Strollin for the Colon is a free, engaging experience designed to bring survivors, patients, community members, friends, and family together to honor and support those affected by colorectal cancer.
Whether you’ve been diagnosed, have concerns about your colorectal health, or simply want to stand in solidarity, this event is for you.
Our goal is to encourage early screening and detection through reliable sources and a family friendly environment.
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the United States, with the American Cancer Society estimating approximately 108,860 new cases this year. While routine screening and healthy lifestyle choices can significantly reduce risk, many individuals are unsure where to begin.
Strollin’ for the Colon was created to change that.
This community wide awareness event brings together survivors, supporters, family, and friends in an effort to make the conversation around colon cancer prevention more accessible and empowering for everyone.
