Welcome to My Personal Page

My goal – Stop colon cancer in its tracks.
I’ve signed up for Get Your Rear in Gear – a fun event, with a funny name – to raise awareness and increase screening for a not-so-funny disease: colon cancer.
Please support me today.
I have an ambitious fundraising goal but with the support of my friends and family I know I can make it. The money I raised will help fund local programs to increase screening and awareness for colon and rectal cancer, as well as programs and services to support those living with the disease.
