    Acerca de

    In 2004, Dr. Thomas K. Weber, founded the first public colon cancer awareness event called the Colon Cancer Challenge. Dr. Weber is Professor of Surgery at the State University of New York at Downstate and Chief of Surgery at the Department of Veterans Affairs New York Harbor Healthcare System, Brooklyn Campus. As a surgical oncologist working daily with colorectal cancer patients, he saw the importance of conducting research for the causes and cures of colorectal cancer, as well as the need to promote public awareness and education.

    In 2008, he then started the Colon Cancer Challenge Foundation (CCCF) with its mission to reduce colorectal cancer and related deaths through supporting research, increasing public awareness and education, and collaborating with strategic partners in the fight against colorectal cancer.

    The 2013 Colon Cancer Challenge was the largest to date. It attracted more than 10,000 participants and supporters and raised funds to further support the CCCF mission.
