Om eventet
Please join me, Gavin Furlong, and support the 2nd Annual Blue Ribbon Run-A-Thon on March 23rd, 2024 to raise awareness for Colorectal Cancer.
In 2021 at the age of 38 I was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. I was very fortunate; my body gave me a clue something was wrong, I told my doctor, found the tumor and had it removed quickly before it spread. Many are not so lucky. Colorectal cancer is currently the 3rd leading cause of cancer deaths for young adults and the leading cause for men under 50, but with early detection colorectal cancer is very treatable. Early detection made a dramatic difference in my life and I want to do what I can to educate others on this disease.
To do so I have organized the Blue Ribbon Run-A-Thon to raise awareness for Colorectal Cancer. In partnership with Beebe Healthcare all funds raised will go towards educating our local community on the signs and symptoms of colorectal cancer and the importance of regular screenings. I invite you to make a donation to our cause or you can join us in March for the Run-A-Thon.
With your help we can educate others in our community on this disease and hopefully contribute to more early detections and positive outcomes. Thank you for your support and look forward to seeing many of you at the Run-A-Thon.

The schedule and pace is up to you. You have from 8AM to 4PM to complete as many laps as you can. We will have real time scoring at the pavilion so you can keep an eye on how you or your team are doing. The individuals and teams with the most points at the end of day (4pm) are the winners!
As an added bonus, our lap sponsors will be donating $ for every lap completed. The more laps we all complete the more we raise for our cause!
