Let’s lift up in prayer💙💪🏾

I’m still standing strong my diagnosis Stage 3 cancer, and I begin chemo April 21st But let me be clear I’m walking into this with power faith and a winning mindset

I’m not afraid I’m focused I’m ready! Yes this is a fight but it’s one I’m built for I didn’t choose this journey but I will choose how I walk through it with strength grace and determination

The truth is… I already feel like I’m winning My spirit is unshaken my faith is solid and my attitude is unstoppable Cancer might be tough but I’m tougher and this is only temporary

They say give a person their flowers while they can enjoy them Believe me I’m enjoying them all I know I’m loved I know I’m covered and I know my purpose is far from finished I will rise I will heal and I will come out of this even stronger than before

Thank you to everyone who continues to pour love prayers and support into me I feel it and it fuels me every single day I know I’m not in this fight alone and that means everything

And trust me… this is just the beginning of my comeback story

Cancer you better get ready I’m coming for the WIN!

💙As March comes to a close… our work does NOT stop.

Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month may be ending, but the mission continues every single day.

This is on US—as a community—to:
✔️ Keep spreading awareness
✔️ Normalize the conversation
✔️ Encourage our loved ones to get screened

Because here’s the truth:
👉🏾 Colorectal cancer is preventable and highly treatable when caught early 
👉🏾 Screening can detect and remove precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer 
👉🏾 And early detection can lead to over 90% survival rates 

🎯 Timing Saves Lives.

If you missed our 5K Run/Walk this year — don’t worry.
Next year, we’re going even BIGGER.

💥 Bring 5 people with you.
💥 Be part of the movement.
💥 Help us save lives.

I got a chance to meet this beautiful group yesterday participating in 5k colon cancer event 💪🏾💙

🚨 STOCKTON — WE NEED YOUR HELP 🚨

I don’t ask for help often, but today I am.

I am a colon cancer survivor, and that experience is why I started Crush Colon Cancer — to make sure families in our community have education, support, and hope.

On March 28, we are hosting the Crush Colon Cancer 5K Walk/Run, but we are currently $5,600 short of our goal to make this event happen safely.

Here’s the good news:
If 56 people donate $100, we reach the goal.
If 112 people donate $50, we reach the goal.
If 224 people donate $25, we reach the goal.

Every dollar helps us:
💙 Raise awareness
💙 Support survivors and families
💙 Encourage early screening that saves lives

Colon cancer is now one of the fastest rising cancers in people under 50, and too many people are being diagnosed too late.

If you can help today, please:
✔ Donate
✔ Register to walk on March 28
✔ Share this post with your network

Let’s show what Stockton can do when we come together.

💙 Together we will Crush Colon Cancer.

I was diagnosed at 49.

I didn’t know screening had changed to 45.

That’s why we walk.
That’s why we educate.
That’s why we fight.

Join me March 28 as we Crush Colon Cancer together 💙

Register. Share. Show up.
