Kathy La Vita

Welcome to my fundraising page!

In September of 2020, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. After a colon resection and 12 rounds of chemotherapy, I’m 3 1/2 years in remission. Had it not been for my wonderful doctors from Tufts Medical Center in Boston, I might not be here to tell my story. On September 7th, I will run a 5k sponsored by the Colon Cancer Coalition.

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.
