That old 2007 calendar doesn’t work today!
But you can get a brand-new 2008 Colondar from the Colon Club featuring young colon and rectal cancer survivors baring their scars to raise colorectal cancer awareness.
Henry Yu, Mr. May, was diagnosed with rectal cancer in 1999. His surgery resulted in a permanent ostomy, but hasn’t held him back from becoming an active survivor and advocate.
A peer counselor for others facing cancer, he also is a member of a dragon-boat racing team Paddle Past Cancer, in addition to a variety of fundraising and colorectal cancer awareness activities. He is particularly concerned about rising cancer rates among Asians.
In his biography, Henry writes,
My Aunt Irene passed away from cancer in early 2007. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about her brave soul and deep heart. She’s my inspiration.
The Colon Club reminds people that colorectal cancer affects young people too.
