Stacey Runfola

Stacey has had the bittersweet opportunity to watch COLONTOWN grow almost from the very beginning. She joined the town while her husband Rick was in treatment for stage IV adenocarcinoma of unknown primary, and has been involved ever since.
Sadly, Rick died of his disease in 2014. Currently Stacey oversees the caregiver neighborhoods of COLONTOWN which include private areas for teen children of CRC patients, primary caregivers of patients, parents of adult patients, a grief group for “former caregivers” and several more. She works with an incredible group of administrators who keep the carepartner neighborhoods going strong daily.
Stacey is particularly proud of starting the private group reserved for Stage IV caregivers only, as well as starting the group PALLIATIVE PATHWAYS for both caregivers and patients. She has made strong friendships with patients and caregivers alike during her time in COLONTOWN, and has had the absolute honor of talking several of those friends through their own, or their partner’s end-of-life.
Outside of COLONTOWN, Stacey owns and runs a group of small businesses. She attempts to play golf (Rick’s favorite sport!), she is a tap dancer, and a (begrudging) beginner runner.
