Thank you for visiting my Giving Page to support cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Jimmy Fund. All donations made through this page will be directly applied to the Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Center at Dana Farber.
I was diagnosed with rectal cancer on 8/30/21 and had surgery to remove the tumor in my rectum on 10/22/21. After 34 days in the hospital post-surgery due to many complications, I was declared cancer free! My journey is far from over and I am currently navigating life with a temporary ileostomy. Your donation will help Dana Farber further support research and care for myself and other young colorectal cancer warriors. With 29% of colorectal cancer diagnoses in the US occurring in adults under 50 and the rates expected to double (colon cancer) and quadruple (rectal cancer) by 2030, the Young-Onset Colorectal Cancer Center needs your support more than ever. Thank you!!
