Race Follow-up
—Posted on Monday morning, March 10th, 2008
Yesterday's 2008 Colon Cancer Challenge Race and Walk is over... but we're not done, by any means.
This website will remain active, and we encourage you to continue to donate, create teams, register for teams,
send "e-blast" messages to your teams members, and be an active part of our Colon Cancer Challenge community.
Here's a review of a very busy and very eventful day:
Congratulations and Thank You!
Congratulations to all colon cancer survivors, team captains, Remembrance & Prevention walkers,
4M and 15K runners and EVERYONE else who turned out today either physically or in spirit
to make the 2008 New York Colon Cancer Challenge the largest and most successful Challenge to date.
Well over 8000 registrants, including over 600 walkers were there to send the message that colon cancer
is — preventable, beatable, and treatable!
Special Thanks to:

Thank You!
Keep an eye on this site...
(a) we’re working to upload photos of this year’s Challenge ASAP, and
(b) we will be posting on-going information about the challenges, opportunities, and
successes throughout the year to help battle this disease.
We are making progress, but we have more roads to travel.
Finally, we should all take a moment to remember those who have died from the disease
and those who are currently battling the disease.
It is their struggle and their strength that helps us motivate us each day.
—Dr. Thomas K. Weber, MD
