Spin for a Cure 2008

Thank you to Prime Time Athletic Club and to all who participated in Spin for a Cure 2008 to raise over $1,300 for Colon Cancer Awareness, Education and Prevention

Welcome To Strides For Life

Highlights from our 2009 Cocktail Party/Auction At The Kohl Mansion

Strides for Life 6th Annual Cocktail Party, Dance and Auction was a resounding success. Together we raised close to $80,000. Your generosity will help Strides for Life Colon Cancer Foundation continue to provide colon cancer screening services to uninsured people in need, to distribute colon cancer information to healthcare providers and the general population, to participate in patient advocacy, and to support media campaigns.

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.

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. -Norman Macewan

Dylan L. Cappel 1978 - 2002
