Mike is a rectal cancer survivor who was diagnosed at 38 and has been no evidence of disease for 3 years. He's learned through his participation in FightCRC's Call on Congress for three years that he is passionate about colorectal cancer advocacy, and he dreams of a day when no one dies from this disease. Mike believes that more and better research is vital to realizing that goal and is excited to contribute more to the colorectal cancer community through the RATS Program. He lives in California with his wife and two kids, and loves spending time outdoors with his family.
