Your tribute to Lisa is beautiful;as was she. This moving remembrance takes me to the first time I met Lisa; about six years ago, when I attended my first Colon Cancer Alliance Conference, while still receiving chemotherapy.

How she inspired me! I felt that my Stage III diagnosis of colorectal cancer would not stand in my way but would open doors to causes and actions I could not imagine. Thus, I am here, with you and everyone from C3 advocating for funding, awareness, education.

You are an inspiration for me, too and I am glad we had the chance to talk at the March Call on Congress when I last saw Lisa. I did not want to think that it would be the last time I would talk communications, strategy and just the love of the active moment with her; somehow,inside, I knew.

We can do the work. We can continue what Lisa Dubow started and be guided by her spirit and her enormous contribution to colorectal cancer research.

I wish healing for all.

What a beautiful and loving tribute to an incredible woman. Lisa was fun, funny, passionate and wholly committed to this fight. I’m grateful I got the chance to know her, too. Thank you for writing this.

Thank you so much for posting your kind words. I am so glad you were there for each other. May her strength, energy and dedication now prevail among all of those living life to the fullest with this disease.

Most Sincerely,

Lorrie (Lisa’s sister)
