Did you know that colorectal cancer is the 2nd most common cancer diagnosed in New York, with a rapid increase in people ages 20-49 newly diagnosed?


I was diagnosed at the age of 45 with Stage III Sigmoid colon cancer. I underwent surgery to remove the large tumor and underwent 4 rounds of chemo. It was a tough battle to fight but I am here as a survivor standing up for colon cancer awareness and screening. We can help fight this fight together! 💙

This is why I've joined the NYOH Community Cancer Foundation's Colorectal Check Challenge --- to spread the word about the importance of cancer screening and celebrate survivorship. Also, all funds that I raise will stay LOCAL, helping pay for basic needs such as groceries, transportation, and rent for people going through cancer treatment right now.

Looking for other ways to support? There's a closing celebration on Sunday, March 30 at Carson's Woodside Tavern in Malta, open to all. Come and join me and others involved in the Colorectal Check Challenge with some good food, music, and raffle prizes to close out the month. Tickets will be on sale soon!

Thank you so much. Every little bit helps!
