6 years ago I joined a passionate committee to put together our first Get Your Rear in Gear SF Bay Area to fight colon cancer.

I first joined this cause because my "uncle" aka "SF father" lost his 1yr battle to colon cancer. We truly believe that had he screened early, he may still be with us today.

I am still part of this cause because I believe it is important to spread the awareness about colon cancer. This cancer is curable and I want do everything I possibly can to prevent others from going through what my uncle and the family had to endure.

Colon Cancer is the 2nd deadliest cancer but the most curable cancer if caught early on (almost 90-95% chance of survival)! Colon cancer has been declining among adults 50+, but rising in adults UNDER 50; 1 in 10 diagnosed with colon cancer are under the age of 50.

So please help me spread the awareness and save people from this highly treatable cancer!
