To say thank you is so small a thing and yet I am so sincere in saying it. The money each of you donated will have a direct impact on the lives of many. Nearly 90% of colorectal cancer is easily treatable when diagnosed in early stages. Please talk to your doctor —- insist on one of the tests available — if you experience symptoms including abdominal pain, blood in the stool, narrowing stools, or a change in bowel habits. So, thank you so very much. See you next year!! — Riki Yockey

Hello everyone,
Please help me support Colon Cancer Coalition by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance Colon Cancer Coalition's great cause! What's really great is that the money stays local and can help people who are un- or under- insured get tested/screened faster.
Together, we can make a difference!

FINISH !! We walked the whole 5K. Raised some money for an outstanding cause. Spent some time with amazing friends and perfectly wonderful strangers! It was a terrific morning.
It was a cold morning with the wind blowing! But the sunshine came out and we had a great walk! Our team, Meggieeloo’s Memory, came in second in local money raised. This year the funds go for uninsured folks to get tested. So so important.

This is the message I got after my last donation….. Dear H Riki You did it! You did it. YOU. DID. IT. This goal, this achievement, this changing lives, preventing cancer, catching it early, being in the thick of it with people, that is on YOU. You’re making good things happen. I couldn’t be more proud to celebrate this moment with you. No……. WE DID IT !!!! AND I CAN’T THANK YOU ALL ENOUGH FOR MAKING IT HAPPEN.

Thank you Julia! Money raised is used to educate the public about colorectal cancer prevention and screenings to helping with treatment and recovery. Your donation (and others) may have saved a life!!!
Who hoo! Thank you, Margaret! You are helping to kick colon cancer in the butt!!!
*One in five colorectal cancer patients are between 20 and 54 years old. —- This was true for Meghan McGinnis and William McGaughey. Yes, Jim’s brother, William, died in 2017 of colorectal cancer. *It is the 3rd leading cause of cancer death in young adults. * It is the third most commonly diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death.
