Welcome to Team Semi;Colon Strong's page:

Where we're literally putting our money where our rears are!

Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this - colorectal cancer tried to take me down. Stage 3C diagnosis, chemo, thought we beat it... then it came back with a vengeance. More treatment, a clinical trial, Stage IV, and liver surgery. Probably will have more battles to fight. But I had five very good rears (reasons) to keep fighting - Ashlie, Everly, Ellis, Harris, and Pierce. Here I am, still standing, and ready to help make sure fewer people have to walk this road.

Here's the deal: Your donation goes directly to the Colon Cancer Coalition's local efforts - screening programs, education, patient support, and research that's actually making a difference right here in our community. Not some abstract national fund. LOCAL impact. REAL people.

The stats that got my attention (and should get yours too):

- Colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer out there
- 1 in 3 adults over 45 aren't getting screened like they should
- You've got a 1 in 25 lifetime risk of developing this disease

I became a statistic. Let's help other people avoid that.

Join me in supporting this movement - let's kick this disease in the butt together. Whether you donate, participate in the walk, or just share this page - you're helping change these numbers and save lives.

Thanks for having my back (and my rear)!

Andy
