Rob joined the Fight Colorectal Cancer (Fight CRC) as an advocate for his wife Marie. Marie has stage IV colon cancer and is currently going through active treatment including clinical trials.  The cancer diagnosed has changed our lives, in the obvious ways, such as treatment, life adjustments, accepting help etc.., but also in unexpected ways.  We noticed quickly through time spent at the hospital(s) how many new relationships enter your life, and how many people have this struggle in addition to other family and financial struggles.  We immediately wanted to make a difference in people’s lives.  

Rob and Marie have 4 children and live in the Nashville, TN area. When Marie was diagnosed it was important that cancer didn’t become the primary focus of their family which caused a shift in how the family pulled together to the fight the disease but more importantly placed a greater emphasis on building memories which drove them to create the family name of MillsMighty6.  Our perspective on life has changed for the better and our passion to get involved has skyrocketed.  We want to find ways to help in every area possible, with a focus on families.

Rob is an advocate to drive awareness, early detection, a cure through investigational drugs and improved mental heath support for the patients and families especially of young families.  Cancer changes your life, whether stage I or stage IV.  Rob wants to find ways to help people through that change and make the process easier wherever possible. Rob is executive for a large public organization called Tractor Supply Company and holds several non-profit, private and public board roles.
