We’ve raised over $195,000 (and counting!) this year, and over $800,000 from Climb for a Cure since 2016! The funds raised help support Fight CRC’s research programs by directly funding cutting-edge CRC research. Thank you for believing in our mission and fighting with us!

For many, colorectal cancer is the biggest mountain they will ever face. Fight alongside them by offering hope and inspiration as you climb. “This climb was a personal best for me. To be part of such a large group, to receive encouragement and camaraderie, it was wonderful. They pushed me further than I would have gone on my own. I am afraid of heights and this climb helped me!”JULIE KRAUSS – STAGE IV SURVIVOR climb or fundraise with us! Chris Ganser Climb for a Cure Scholarship The Chris Ganser Climb for a Cure Scholarship is a unique opportunity for two colorectal cancer survivors to attend our Climb for a Cure event in Lake Tahoe, and honors the late Chris Ganser, a colorectal cancer fighter and co-founder of the Climb. Meet the 2021 Climb for a Cure Scholarship Recipients: Christina Haywood - Stage III Rectal Cancer Survivor Imagine going from not being able to walk around the block to a 12-mile climb! I am so incredibly honored to demonstrate to other young survivors that a complete recovery of everything we have lost is within reach!" Mike Mancini - Stage IV Colon Cancer Survivor "To be a stage IV survivor who is on chemo for life, and to be able to persevere through the challenges that come with hiking up a mountain, it really makes me feel alive, inspired, accomplished, and for a brief time...invincible." donate to the scholarship fund History of the Climb Two of the three founders of the Climb; Chris Ganser (middle) and Brian Threlkheld (right) In 2016, 19 people came together to ascend Longs Peak near Denver, Colorado, for the first Climb for a Cure. Led by visionaries and longtime advocates - Chad Schrack, Brian Threlkeld and Chris Ganser - the three friends saw the literal climb as a way to inspire those facing the proverbial mountain of cancer. For five years, the event has continued to grow. In 2020, COVID-19 threatened the Climb, but our relentless champions didn’t stop. Taking the Climb virtual, more than 900 advocates came together to get moving and push themselves. From all over the country, climbers came together to take more than 1 million steps for the 1 million colorectal cancer survivors, and they added to the collective total of $447,000 raised through the Climb. The 2021 event will take us even closer to our goal of raising funds for cutting-edge research and encouraging advocates to join us on the path to a cure.
