Colon cancer. About 1 in 25 will be diagnosed with it at some point in their lifetime. It is the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the United States. The numbers are scary and the numbers indicate that it will affect your life one way or the other eventually if it hasn't already. It affected ours in the worst way possible when we lost "Grammy" to it in 2013.

So for the 13th straight year we are taking part in the Get Your Rear in 5k to help the Colon Cancer Coalition with it's efforts towards colon cancer awareness, prevention and treatment. To help with these efforts we ask for your support by making a contribution to our team, Pat's Pack, and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar we raise will help the Colon Cancer Coalition in making a much needed difference.

Thank you in advance for your support,

The Ruffing Family
