Welcome family and friends! It is that time of year again. The Seattle GYRIG event takes place on September 17th, 2022!

This is my fifth year participating in this very important event. Here are our running totals for fundraising...

Lots of $$ for "Team Auggie" in 2018
$1405 in 2019
$1915 in 2020
$3015 in 2021
My goal in 2022 is to raise $4000 for the Colon Cancer Coalition!

Here are some OTHER running totals over the last 5 years...
-4 major surgeries
-20 rounds of chemotherapy
-countless CT scans, MRIs, PET scans, biopsies, transfusions, and labs
-3rd time NED (No Evidence of Disease)

My goal remains for every person to be aware of the symptoms of colon cancer. The symptoms may include a change in bowel habits, blood in your stool, cramping or abdominal pain, weakness and fatigue, unintended weight loss, and anemia. You could also have NO symptoms. If you are 45 years of age or experiencing these symptoms, it is so important to schedule your colonoscopy screening today. This disease is preventable with screening and treatable with early intervention. My second goal is for every single cancer patient to become a long term survivor.

Please join me in raising awareness about colon cancer by walking with me and donating to the Colon Cancer Coalition. The goal of the Colon Cancer Coalition is to raise screening rates, increase awareness, educate the public about the signs and symptoms of the disease, and provide support for patients and caregivers. Together, we can make a difference.

You can sign up for this event under "Team Sydney" and make donations right here on my page under "Team Sydney." The event will take place in Redmond, WA on Saturday September 17th, 2022 at 9am.

Thank you for your continued support over the last (almost) 5 years of my survivorship.

Sincerely,
Sydney
