Carole joined Fight CRC as the Patient Education Project Manager in 2023 and has also served as an ambassador and a Call-On-Congress mentor.

In 2020, Carole was a model for The Colon Club “On the RISE” magazine. She serves on patient advisory panels for both Pfizer and Bayer. She is a member of the Pfizer Early-Onset Colorectal Cancer Patient Advisory Council and on the Pfizer Cachexia Advisory Council. She is also a member of the Edward J. DeBartolo Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Patient Advisory Board at The Cleveland Clinic.

Carole is a boy momma! She is a colorectal cancer survivor, living donor liver transplant recipient, and was the care partner to her late husband Mike Mancini. She is a “Buckeye” always and lives in Connecticut with her dog Indy.

Carole is a free spirit and often goes where the wind takes her. She loves the outdoors, traveling, and exploring new places. She considers herself a “cooking with cheese” wizard and bakes with the intention of breaking everyone from their diet!

She loves to hear people’s stories and talks to everyone in the grocery store.
