**More Time on this Earth!**

“My wife Kirsten was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in April 2021, the same day I found out I was pregnant with our daughter after a year of infertility. Kirsten fought bravely for 2.5 years, passing just days before our daughter’s second birthday. Attending Call on Congress was a healing step for me, and now, as a Fight CRC Ambassador, I hope to bring awareness to colon cancer in the LGBTQ community and support caregivers, so no one feels alone.” – Jennifer, California

**More Family & Advocacy Time!**

After my 2nd routine colonoscopy, I was diagnosed with stage III rectal cancer, without a single symptom! If I had not had my screening, chances are I would not be NED today! I knew when my treatment was completed and I went from Fighter to Survivor, that I needed to advocate for policy change, new treatments and new trails. It terrifies me that so many of our younger generations are dying from CRC. We must do better, we need to do better. It’s not okay that Colorectal Cancer is the #2 leading cause of cancer deaths in the US. Together we can change this!” – Wendy, Florida

**More Eplor’in Time!**

“After treatments and a recurrence, I’m now on chemo and immunotherapy. As a Fight CRC Ambassador, I educate others, advocate for screenings, and push for better treatment options. I’m dedicated to making a difference and raising our voices for change.” – Amy, Michigan

More Bonding Time!

“I never imagined I’d champion a cause like this, but I feel it’s my purpose. I often think about how the roles could have been reversed, and that my big brother’s journey could have easily been given to me. My experience as his caregiver changed my life for the better, forever! I’m here in his honor to help others, advocate, support, and create awareness every day—because if I can save one life, I’ve saved an entire generation.” – Zakela, Florida

More Family Time!

“I’m fighting to increase research and awareness into the ever-growing number of early onset CRC diagnoses. Having been diagnosed with stage IV at 37, it was something that was not on my radar. With awareness, availability of screenings at a younger age, and early detection, my cancer may have been discovered at a lesser stage or while it was still a pre-cancerous polyp.” – Markham, Connecticut
