Welcome to Sarah and Michele's Team Page.

Sarah and I have been friends for several years. We have so much in common. Last summer Sarah lost her dad to colon cancer. I lost my dad over 24 years ago to rectal cancer. She has participated in this walk to support her dad and now we are starting a team together to honor our fathers and to support me in my fight against rectal cancer.

I was Diagnosed in November of 2023. My last colonoscopy was just 2 years prior. I followed up with my GI doctor when I had changes. I have stage II/early stage III Missed Matched Repair Deficiency. This type is identified in only 5 and 10 % of rectal cancer patients. I started fight against this cancer with a newer immunotherapy drug Jempreli/Dostarlimab as it has shown good response in this type of cancer.



Please join me in supporting the Colon Cancer Coalition’s mission to reduce barriers to colorectal cancer screening and educate the public about life saving colorectal cancer screening options. Together, we can make a difference.

Did you know that colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer? Only lung cancer kills more Americans each year than colon cancer, but it doesn’t have to be that way. Regular, early screening is essential to catching this disease before it begins and in its earliest stages. 

Survival rate is over 90% when caught in early stages.

By donating and sharing my page, you can directly help people that are impacted by colon cancer and help save lives.

Thank you for your support! We are stronger together.
