The History

Race For Hope was founded in 2004 by Carleen Taylor. Her friend Peggy was diagnosed with CRC at 42 years old and asked Carleen to help  her raise awareness that colorectal cancer occurs in those under 50 years old.  A 5k race was started to educate about young onset colorectal cancer. Sadly Peggy passed away at 45 years old 3 weeks before

Race For Hope was founded in 2004 by Carleen Taylor. Her friend Peggy was diagnosed with CRC at 42 years old and asked Carleen to help  her raise awareness that colorectal cancer occurs in those under 50 years old.  A 5k race was started to educate about young onset colorectal cancer. Sadly Peggy passed away at 45 years old 3 weeks before the first race. But the race continued.

After  twelve years of warning others about this cancer Carleen's own 22 year old son Connor was diagnosed in February 2016.  He passed away  at the age of 23 in September 2016.  The Race must go on to save young lives
