La historia de Dana

I Fight For: my late husband, Jean Georges, Jr.;  my son, Mattaeo ; brother, Dustin  and all colon cancer survivors, caregivers, and families affected by this disease

I became very involved in cancer advocacy efforts after losing my husband to colon cancer on Mother's Day, 2015. He was only 43-years-old. My 7-year-old  son will need to begin screening at age 25. Also, my 32-year-old brother recently had precancerous cells found in a polyp that was discovered during a colonoscopy due to rectal bleeding.

Es de suma importancia que se produzcan avances en la investigación y las tasas de curación, así como la educación continua de los profesionales médicos, los pacientes y el público en general sobre el cribado precoz y las pruebas genéticas.

Since my husband’s passing, I have been to Capital Hill twice to meet with my federal  lawmakers in an effort to increase funds for cancer research. I also focus on meeting with my state and local lawmakers throughout the year.
