Listen to Carmen Marc Valvo's Interview now on YouTube.com

A short time ago, a beautiful young woman with everything to live for succumbed to colon cancer. A loving family and two beautiful children were left to wonder. Her vision was that no other family would experience the pain that her family endured. Susan did not live long enough to share her vision, however, her legacy will carry on. In her honor The Susan Cohan Colon Cancer Foundation was formed. The Foundation will dramatically reduce the deaths from colon cancer across the globe.  We are taking a revolutionary approach to educating the public about the risk for this dreaded disease.  We will be in the trenches, taking this fight to the streets, with new and innovative grass roots campaigns.  Our message is aimed at all age groups and cultures at risk.  We will remove the myths and fears of proper screening and insure that everyone regardless of insurance coverage or financial means has access to early detection and proper care.
