Attention Survivors!

Be sure to visit the Survivor Tent at the race to meet other survivors, speak with a nutritionist from Outpost, or treat yourself to a chair massage. 

We would also like to invite all survivors to share your story and to bring a picture to place in a memory book.  This “Memory Book” will be kept in the Faith Clinic at FMLH/MCW for newly diagnosed patients with colon and rectal cancers to read and use as an inspiration as they start their journey. 

We will have plenty of creative help to assist you in creating your page!
