Iroquois Park

The 2009 Walk Away From Colon Cancer and 5k Run is an event to raise awareness and funds to reduce preventable colon cancer death and suffering by increasing screening rates through education, advocacy, and health systems improvement in Kentucky and surrounding communities.

Each year, thousands of American families are affected by this common but little discussed disease. Colon cancer is the 2nd leading cancer killer in both men and women in Kentucky, Indiana, and the whole U.S. This is despite the fact that it is one of the most preventable forms of cancer.

By participating in the Run/Walk, you and your team join the growing movement to make colon cancer a disease of the past.

The Colon Cancer Prevention Project is a
501©(3) nonprofit dedicated to colon cancer prevention and support.
