Our CEO and Founder, Sharon Rivera, was featured this morning on WTVR -TV - CBS 6's Virginia This Morning alongside host Amy Lacey and Apostle Belinda Baugh, organizer of the Regional Stop the Violence Memory Ride and Parade!

As proud members of the organizing committee, TRIALS OF COLOR is taking direct action on the ground. Petersburg currently faces the highest rate of colon cancer in our region, and community data shows that far too many people are being diagnosed for the first time in the ER, when it’s often too late.

We are changing that narrative. We’ve partnered with VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center to bring on-site colon cancer screening and education directly to the August 22nd event! Early detection saves lives, and we are bringing these vital health resources right to our people.

A huge thank you to WTVR CBS 6 and Amy Lacey for giving us a platform to amplify this lifesaving mission.

📍 EVENT & ROUTE DETAILS
📅 Date & Time: Saturday, August 22nd @ 3:00 PM
🚦 Start Location: Walmart Supercenter (3500 South Crater Road, Petersburg, VA)
🏁 End Location: 550 Farmer St., Petersburg, VA
See you all on August 22nd in Petersburg! Together, we are saving lives. 🙏

At Trials of Color, we know firsthand that clinical trials do more than just test the future of medicine, they save lives.

But medical breakthroughs shouldn't be a privilege. True healing requires representation. We are dedicated to ensuring our communities have a seat at the table, a voice in research, and an equal chance at a miracle.

To the community we serve: your presence is progress. Let’s make sure tomorrow’s cures leave no one behind.

We are so proud to share this powerful testimony from Sharry B Goode, who just completed her first clinical trial! As Sharry highlights, the lack of diversity in medical research creates massive health disparities and we need to change that.

That is exactly what our "Bring a Friend to a Clinical Trial" campaign is all about. Overcoming fear, breaking down barriers, and driving medical breakthroughs is easier when we walk through those doors together.

Watch Sharry’s inspiring story below. Who will you inspire to join the movement? 👥💙

Sharon Rivera Sanchez recently reached a major milestone: completing a 5th clinical trial at Medical Research. But advocacy requires radical honesty. Out of five trials started, two were dropped and three were completed.

The road to a cure is rarely a straight line, but one truth remains: A cure cannot be found if we aren’t in the room.

At Trials of Color, we believe:

1. Patients are fighting for their lives.
2. Participants are driving the breakthroughs of tomorrow.

Our "Bring a Friend" campaign exists so that no one has to face this journey alone. Let’s bridge the gap, together.
