Climb for a Cure means many things to the colorectal cancer community. For some, Climb for a Cure is an event to raise awareness about colorectal cancer. To others, The Climb is about community and the reminder that “no one flights alone.” For many, the Climb is about raising funds to advance research on the El camino hacia la cura contra el cáncer colorrectal. Este año, Fight CRC anima a todo el mundo a participar y mantenerse activo por todas esas razones. 

Beginning in 2016 with a handful of survivors and caregivers climbing a mountain, Climb for a Cure became a metaphor for their fight against colorectal cancer. Today, it unites hundreds of survivors, caregivers, and loved ones across the country. Throughout the past seven years, Climb for a Cure has become Fight CRC’s cornerstone fundraising event.

Climb for a Cure financia la investigación  

Climb for a Cure anima a la comunidad afectada por el cáncer colorrectal a ponerse en marcha y a relacionarse con otros Defensores implacables de la esperanza, al tiempo que impulsa la financiación de la investigación a nuevas cotas.

This is making an impact: With funds from Climb for a Cure, Fight CRC has created a plan, the Path to a Cure report, and convened a treatment think tankreuniendo a los mejores y más brillantes cerebros con el fin de encontrar soluciones prácticas para detener esta enfermedad. Está previsto que el 1 de diciembre de 2023 se celebre otro grupo de reflexión sobre la aparición temprana de la enfermedad.  

Gracias a Climb for a Cure, Fight CRC ha creado una beca para financiar a un joven investigador que recibirá acceso a los conjuntos de datos desidentificados y a la plataforma analítica de Tempus para identificar las ideas y las lagunas que se están produciendo en la investigación clínica del cáncer colorrectal. La comunidad de Fight CRC está formada por pioneros que combinan la investigación y la defensa en la lucha contra el cáncer colorrectal.
