From the Organizer
According to the Colon Cancer Coalition, colon cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the U.S. and the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths. Early detection can make all the difference!
Strollin' for the Colon is proud to hold Toni's Race for its 15th year. The event will be held again at Stewart Lodge in Mendon Ponds Park. As with past years there will be a USATF certified (NY23008KL) 5k race to be immediately followed by a 1-mile walk. Strollin' for the Colon is a non-profit organization with the mission to raise funds to support those who are fighting colorectal cancer. Proceeds from this event will go to patients and their families who have financial needs resulting from treatment, agencies that provide education about the importance of early screening for colon cancer, as well as offer seed funding for research to beat this disease.
Along with the race and walk there is a fun run and other activities for kids. There is fun, music, food and the opportunity to win great prizes! Also attending are physicians and vendors to provide information and answer any questions about colon cancer and any related topics.
