We are honored to receive a grant again this coming year to support our colorectal friends! This grant is from the Colon Cancer Coalition through money raised at the Get Your Rear in Gear Charlotte event.

Together we love partnering with our Young Colon Cancer survivors in the Charlotte area and also with our other regional colorectal survivors with virtual retreats, outreach programs and support.  If you are a Young Colorectal survivor and would like more information, email us and we will connect with you!

Would you like to join our 2022 race team?!   We'd love to have you!  Here's a link to the March 26th Charlotte event and the Wind River Team link!!!
