The 13th annual Boxer Brief 5K Run/Walk from 8 to 10 a.m., June 7, at City Stadium, will bring together colorectal cancer survivors, patients, families, friends and advocates to take a stand against one of the most common and preventable cancers in the U.S. Proceeds from the event support Hitting Cancer Below the Belt (HCB2) and their vital work in providing screening and educational services throughout the community.

Attendees can meet team members from the VCU Massey Cancer Center and access resources including cancer screening guidelines and information; patient navigators to help address barriers to care; “We Can Eat Well”  nutrition tips, budget-friendly shopping and meal planning; and “We Can Quit” free smoking cessation support with trained quit coaches.

Colorectal cancer is the leading cancer killer in men under 50 and the second deadliest cancer overall. Individuals can also participate in the global virtual challenge during the weekend of June 7 and 8. Walk, run, ride, swim, paddle or even dink (pickleball), because every mile matters.
