Colossal Colon - I'm blaming Katie Couric for this one!!! When
Katie interviewed Amanda and I on the Today Show in November
2001, she told me to let her know if I was planning anything crazy for Colon Cancer Awareness Month
(March 2002). Of course, the wheels started turning, and I decided to build a colon! Approximately 40 feet long and 4 feet tall, and filled with polyps and cancer, it will be an
educational tool like no other!

The Salt Lake 2002 Olympic Torch came through town, and I was chosen to be a
Chevy torchbearer by Amanda Sherwood. The day was
incredible and I
can't believe that I was a part of it. The only thing I would have
changed would be to have Amanda there with me.

Me, Katie Couric and Amanda's cousin, Hannah. |
Amanda Sherwood and I were on the Today Show with Katie Couric, to tell our
stories and keep spreading awareness of colon cancer. Our message was
simple. Know your body. Know the symptoms and what they mean.
Be persistent with your doctor, no matter what your age, sex or race. And when you get
older, get tested. It could save your life.

I ran the New York City Marathon for the New York Apple
Association to help them raise the awareness of New York Apples and their cancer fighting
qualities, as well as to keep raising awareness for my own cause. I Finished in 5:28:30, no record time, but then again, I've never liked running!

Rolling To Recovery- I inline skated from Glens Falls, New York, to Greeley Colorado, and raised over $60,000 for the American Cancer Society, The Cancer Center at the Glens Falls Hospital, and the Sunflower Fund.
|
I've also spoken for many National Service Organizations, both the Girl and Boy Scouts of America, many elementary, middle and high schools, and numerous cancer awareness events, including the American Cancer Society's Kickoff Dinner at George's
Restaurant in Lake George, NY.
So far, my story has been featured on over a dozen news programs, including the
"Today Show," as well as articles in Parade Magazine, SELF Magazine,
American Hockey Magazine, Mademoiselle Magazine, The American Cancer Society Annual
Report, numerous local and national newspapers, and "WPLJ's Scott and Todd in the Morning Show." I'm not done yet. I will continue to tell my story to anyone who will listen, and my
hope is that no one will be afraid to talk about colon cancer
anymore.
