Jeff Rosenberry woke up one morning in his hometown Richland, Ore. in early summer, 2004 and felt a small, but sharp pain in his groin area. He thought he could deal with it for a day. After the pain didn’t recede, he had been bedrid- den for three weeks and had done negative self-checks for tumors, Rosenberry, now a graduate student in student services at CSU, decided to call the doctor. “You sit down, and the doctor tells you that you have testicular cancer, and you say to yourself, ‘What’s going to happen to the barbecue I had planned this weekend?’” Rosenberry said. Friday night, CSU and the American Cancer Society will address what will eventually affect one in 70 men and one in 49 women ages 1 to 39.

Alison Bruce, the community relations director for the ACS, said 12 teams are currently signed up, while they’re shooting for a much higher number. The fund- raising goal is $20,000, but Bruce said that might be a far shot. “I don’t think we’re gonna get that,” she said. But signup lasts throughout the race, and Bruce encouraged students to get a team together. There will also be booths and activities, including a sumo-wres- PHOTO BY BRIAN SWANSON | COLLEGIAN tling pit.
