Thank you for supporting me, (your favorite CRC patient or caregiver!) in my QUEST to fundraise for COLONTOWN! Supported by the non-profit Paltown Development Foundation, COLONTOWN offers private colorectal cancer support communities to over 11,500 members. There are also a host of free education programs available to everybody! COLONTOWN has helped me since colorectal cancer came into my life, so please scroll through the "items" to learn more about CRC and about some of the offerings of COLONTOWN, then donate to support this organization's work. There's just one of each "item," so if your favorite is no longer available, don't worry — you can always choose "Add a donation for Paltown Development Foundation Inc" at the bottom of the page to make a donation of any amount.
Completing my quest means getting a donation for each one of the "items" listed - and also means $550 raised to support CRC patients and caregivers!
