Since 2016, we've raised over $1 million for research, and every single step keeps us moving toward more time, more hope, and more tomorrows.Huge thank you to @merck, Exact Sciences, @guardanthealth, Taiho Oncology, and @nateragenetics for fueling our climb and standing with us every step of the way. 💙

"Take each day one step at a time, and know you're not alone." - Rachel HahnIn the summer of 2024, Rachel had been experiencing abdominal pain that came and went over the course of four days. The pain eventually led her to the emergency room. While there, a gynecological surgeon recommended she get a colonoscopy before any further steps. Immediately after the procedure, the surgeon shared that Rachel had cancer. The disbelief her and her husband shared was heavy.Within a week, Rachel underwent both a colectomy and hysterectomy. Not long after, her oncologist confirmed the diagnosis, stage four colon cancer. A month later, she began chemotherapy, with a treatment plan that includes chemo for the foreseeable future.Rachel admits it's been tough, but she's not backing down. She's determined to keep living her life to the fullest.💙 Your story matters.
