Cancer Impact and Support

The "Crush Cancer" mission addresses significant health statistics within the state. Data from the Oregon Health Authority highlights the following trends:

• - Cancer in Oregon: Cancer is the leading cause of death in Oregon. In a typical year, approximately 25,000 Oregonians are diagnosed with cancer, and over 8,000 lose their lives to the disease.
• - Rural Health Access: For residents in rural areas like Terrebonne and Deschutes County, access to specialized oncology care often requires travel to larger hubs like Bend or Portland, making local fundraising efforts essential for support services.
• - Screening Disparities: Research indicates that rural Oregonians are less likely to be up-to-date on cancer screenings compared to urban residents. Community events like the Crush Cancer Run serve to increase awareness and encourage early detection.
• - Survivor Support: Physical activity, such as trail running and walking, has been shown to reduce the risk of cancer recurrence by up to 30% for certain types of the disease, emphasizing the foundation’s goal of promoting a healthy, active community.
