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 About 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 Photos from Past Climbs Thank You to Our Sponsors Let’s Stay in Touch!
