Why we need more DIYnamos

This year, more than 150,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer—a preventable disease that is fatal for more than 50,000 people every year. This fact drives us to unite as allies in efforts to support patients and families, increase funding for research, and save as many lives as possible. During the next few years, we’ve set key goals to ensure we take considerable strides in these efforts. We need your help to achieve them—because tomorrow can’t wait.™

Your event makes this possible

Make the mission to end colorectal cancer your own. Your donations help people get screened and provide critical support and resources.
