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 Kasdas 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.
