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.
