Most of you have a story. Most of your lives have been touched by this awful disease. I have a few stories including the loss of my youngest brother at 51. While metastasis was advanced when diagnosed, it is believed to have begun with colon cancer. Now the screening age has moved up to 45 from 50 based upon research and this advancement allows for earlier detection and treatment. Please get your screenings! You are important. Would Tom have done that? I don’t know. Would his have been caught early enough? I don’t know. What I know is that treatments continue to improve and many cancers are detected and treated earlier allowing those we love to be with us longer. Please consider donating.
For the first time in history, the American Cancer Society's mission is at risk - including their ability to fund cancer research. The American Cancer Society needs to be here to help patients face cancer with comprehensive support, but they need our help to be able to do so. Every dollar will truly make a difference right now.
Funds raised support cancer patient programs and groundbreaking research that can help save lives. This event also celebrates over 15.5 million cancer survivors nationwide. 15.5 MILLION. That's huge. That's why I'd love your support. Will you join me? And if you can't would you be so kind as to make a donation?
