Eddie Ortiz
Welcome to Eddie's fundraising page!
Eddie Ortiz, passed away on November 6, 2024, after a four-year heroic battle with colon cancer.
Eddie was diagnosed with Stage 3c Colon Cancer on October 31, 2020, and his cancer metastasized to his liver and lungs in those four years. He had a total of 32 rounds of chemotherapy and participated in over six clinical studies to hopefully find a drug that would hopefully help others and prolong his own life.
The family of Eddie Ortiz wishes to extend our sincere thanks to the START center and especially Dr. Ronald Drengler and Dr. Kyriakos Papadopoulos.
Eddie was a beautiful person with a kind heart. He was always positive and assisted the community with his generosity always participating in all fundraising events.
He worked as a Matre’d at Maggiano's Little Italy for over 20 years in San Antonio and Houston. He assisted in Maggiano’s Make a Wish campaign every year making every child feel special and loved. He has been an advocate for colon cancer screening and has participated in the Get Your Rear in Gear for three years.
His friends and family would like to honor Eddie by walking in his honor and remembrance of his life.
We decided to incorporate his fantasy team name “The Rainbow Warriors” as his 2025 Get Your Rear in Gear team name Rainbow Warrior - Team Eddie Ortiz. Eddie was a true Warrior and fought to the end. Last year Eddie was able to raise $3361, so we want top that amount.
Eddie would like to thank Team Pansa Power and especially Christina Moreno for their support.
Please join us in supporting the Colon Cancer Coalition’s and Rainbow Warrior – Team Eddie Ortiz’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.
