Strides For Life Colon Cancer Foundation

Strides For Life is a non-profit organization in the SF Bay Area working to raise awareness, detection, and prevention of colon cancer.

The Strides for Life Colon Cancer Foundation is the outcome of the death of Dylan Cappel. Dylan died of colon cancer at the age of 23 while training for a berth on the 2004 United States Olympic Rowing Team. Dylan graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2000 and at the time of his death was the assistant men’s varsity rowing coach at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The organization is dedicated to his memory and committed to decreasing the amount of pain and suffering this hideous disease wreaks on society. Strides for Life is a non-profit organization founded in 2004. Our mission is the prevention and early detection of colon cancer. The mission is accomplished through a variety of educational programs directed at increasing awareness of colon cancer among both healthcare providers and the general population. Included are programs of public education, wide scale screening efforts and risk-reduction strategies directed toward populations at high risk. The Strides for Life organization is funded entirely through contributions from individuals, corporations, and hopefully, grants from public and private agencies. It is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of people with a variety of experiences and expertise. There are no salaried employees and all efforts and resources are volunteered. Our goal this year is to raise $250,000, which will be used for programs in and around the San Francisco Bay Area that work toward eliminating this disease. We hope this program becomes a model throughout the country and around the world. Only through continuous dedication and devoted effort are we going to rid the world of this disease.

COVID-19 may have halted our ability to go to work, gather with friends and family or sometimes simply buy a roll of toilet paper.
However, it did NOT halt SFL from providing life saving colon cancer screenings to the uninsured, the underinsured and low-income
individuals in our community, who are in need of a life saving colon cancer screening.
Please join us this month for our Matching Gift Challenge and Double Your Impact.

On Wednesday, March 10th, San Francisco City Hall, partnering with Strides for Life Colon Cancer Foundation, will again be “Lit Blue” in recognition of Colon Cancer Awareness Month, to promote colon cancer awareness and early screening.
While Covid-19 has halted our lives as we have known it, it has not halted the 140k newly diagnosed colon cancer cases, and the 50k deaths we see yearly. Yet, with early screening and early detection, colon cancer has a 90% survival rate.
Strides for Life Colon Cancer Foundation’ mission is to promote colon cancer awareness, education and early screening to diagnose colon cancer in it’s early stages resulting in a 90% survival rate.
You can help by sharing, liking or donating.
