"November 1, 2013 my 45 year old husband was diagnosed with Stage 4 Colorectal Cancer. He became an advocate and eventually a board member at Fight Colorectal Cancer several years after that. He felt strongly that no one should fight alone and everyone should have a chance for a cure and Fight CRC was the key to empowering patients and their caregivers with life saving information. John died April of 2019, but his legacy lives on with the work that we do at Fight Colorectal Cancer every day. I am honored to be on the Board representing him and all of our advocates."
