    Proceeds benefit the Hereditary Colon Cancer Foundation

     

    We find it UNACCEPTABLE that 80% of individuals with a hereditary colon cancer syndrome are diagnosed AFTER they have cancer.

    Through early detection, a person's cancer risk can be significantly reduced and, in some cases, eliminated all together! Proceeds from the DNA Dude Dash will support programs that will 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 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.
