Anjee Davis
Fight CRC President

Fight CRC president
ANJEE DAVIS
To 30-year-old Rachel Allen, May
2012 represents a stark remind-
er that life is all too fragile. After
receiving an emergency surgery
that would ultimately save her life,
Rachel spent a few days in the
ICU recovering from the removal
of all but 6 inches of her colon, as
well as her small
intestine.
The prognosis
was dire: stage
IV colon cancer.
Had she wait-
ed any longer,
Rachel likely
would have died,
leaving behind
a husband and
children.
Colorectal cancer is quite com-
monly viewed as an “old person’s
disease.” In fact, the average
age for patients when they are
diagnosed is 69. However, the
statistics are changing. Younger
generations are experiencing a
rise in diagnosed cases of colorec-
tal cancer. To a demographic that
knows virtually nothing about the
disease, this rise in diagnoses is a
serious concern.
“I didn’t recognize my symptoms
prior to diagnosis… and I was too
embarrassed to ask my doctor
about them,” says Rachel.
She was avoiding the very conver-
sation that could save her life. In
fact, by the time she reached out
for help, it was almost too late. Af-
ter recovering from her
first emergency surgery,
Rachel’s doctors found
that the cancer had
spread to her liver.
The statistics were grim.
Doctors urged her to
disregard the
current research
regarding
colorectal cancer
because she didn’t
fit the mold. At only
28 years old and
with no prior family
history of colorec-
tal cancer, Rachel
shouldn’t have been
in a hospital fighting
for her life. And yet, she was.
The months that followed were
grueling; Rachel faced an uphill
battle. After undergoing another
surgery and countless treatments,
she caught a break and was finally
declared cancer free in December
2012.
Though she still undergoes treat-
ments to ensure that her can-
cer doesn’t return, Rachel now
spends much of her life spreading
the word to young people about
the dangers of colorectal cancer
and the importance of taking
preventative measures. She en-
courages young people to become
familiar with the signs of colorectal
cancer and to not be embarrassed
to talk to your doctor and get
screened.
“I am convinced that there has to
be a cause behind the rise in co-
lon cancer in younger populations,
and we need more research into
those causes so we can stop it! We
need to continue to support the
scientists that are fighting for us.”
Through Fight CRC, Rachel has
found a community of people who
share her passion about investing
in research for a cure. As part of
the one million colorectal cancer
survivors in the United States,
Rachel advocates that awareness
is key to making a change.
“As we raise awareness and get
more support, we will be able to
get patients the screenings they
need before they develop into
aggressive cancers… We need
more people to get behind a cure
so that colorectal cancer is on the
main page of cancer awareness.”
Rachel’s experience with colorec-
tal cancer has given her a unique
perspective into the lives of those
who are currently struggling with
the disease. She is a survivor, a
fighter, an overcomer, and she
believes that through research and
awareness colorectal cancer will
finally meet its end.
“We need more
people to get
behind a cure so
that colorectal
cancer is on the
main page of cancer
awareness.”

ONE MILLION STRONG
Colorectal cancer is a disease that
often brings out emotions of fear
and uncertainty. For some, the
word ‘cancer’ leaves them with
a bitter taste in their mouth. For
others, it is symbolic; it is symbolic
to a battle that thousands face
each and every year. Fight
Colorectal Cancer believes that
this battle is one that can be
overcome and they plan
to celebrate the over ONE
MILLION STRONG that
have experienced this
victory.
ONE MILLION
STRONG is not
only a group of
individuals that
have shown
tremendous
strength in
light of their
disease; ONE
MILLION STRONG
is a movement.
Fight CRC designed this
movement to allow the voices
of those affected by colorectal
cancer to reach the tables of
congress where decisions can be
made that will impact lives for the
better.
Fight CRC demands a cure for
colon and rectal cancer. Among
its most important goals are the
desires for increased education
and awareness regarding
colorectal cancer. They advocate
for changes in legislative policy
that will increase the funding
for colorectal cancer research
and abolish obstacles that often
prevent individuals from getting
tested. Fight CRC seeks to
empower individuals that have
battled with
the
disease
to join
the
move-
ment
and stand
victorious
among the ONE MILLION
STRONG colorectal cancer
survivors.
With these ONE MILLION
STRONG standing behind the
organization,
Fight CRC knows that changes
can be made and lives can
be impacted. Fight CRC and
ONE MILLION STRONG have
rallied together with survivors,
caregivers, friends, physicians,
and researchers affected by the
cancer. They have marched in
places as grand as New York City’s
Times Square and Grand Central
Terminal. They plan to continue
to advocate and take a stand with
more individuals joining them for
years to come.
With the help of the ONE MILLION
STRONG affected by colorectal
cancer, Fight CRC has
become the leading
patient advocacy group in
colorectal cancer and is an
active participant in cancer
research and advocacy on
Capitol Hill.
LEGISLATION
Fight CRC advocates on
Capitol Hill for better insurance
coverage, lower screening
ages, and increased funding for
colorectal cancer research.
ONE MILLION
STRONG
by DEANN WARREN,
KATELYN GREEN &
CHELSEY WEBBER
The screening process for
colorectal cancer can be
difficult. Insurance companies
don’t often cover the charges
associated with colonoscopies
and similar procedures unless
the patient is of typical screening
age. Unfortunately, the typical
screening age, about 50 years
old, directly stands in the way of
preventing the spread of colorectal
cancer through early
detection.
The rise in cases of
colorectal cancer
throughout younger
generations
cannot be ignored.
Colorectal cancer
is a very treatable
and preventable
disease if
detected early.
Unfortunately, due
to the high screening
age, many young
people do not discover
their cancer until
they begin
experiencing questionable
symptoms. The lack of research
regarding colorectal cancer among
younger generations is distressing
and needs to be addressed. Fight
CRC advocates increasing funding
for colorectal cancer research and
believes that this research can
bring about a cure.
Additionally, Fight CRC intends
to increase awareness and early
detection of cases of colorectal
cancer by
fighting for
changes in
legislation on
Capitol Hill.
Bill S 2348
and
HR1070 -
Removing Barriers to Colorectal
Cancer Screening Act addresses
these issues and more.
With the help of legislators on
Capitol Hill, colorectal cancer can
be put on the forefront of cancer
awareness. A united
effort on the part of
Fight CRC, legislators,
and ONE MILLION STRONG,
colorectal cancer can finally
see its end.
JOIN THE MOVEMENT
ONE MILLION STRONG is
strengthened by survivors,
caregivers, and loved ones all
across the nation and welcomes
the opportunity to partner with
millions more. If you have a
personal story of survival or if your
life has in some way been affected

Tanya Dennis
Many who are diagnosed with
colorectal cancer often experience
no signs or symptoms associated
with the disease
prior to diagnosis.
A routine checkup
turns into a somber
conversation that
turns a life upside
down. This certainly
reigned true for
Tonya Dennis who
was diagnosed with
stage III colorectal cancer at the
age of 46.
“I was shocked to learn that I
had colorectal cancer,” Tonya
explained. She was in complete
disarray by the discovery in light of
the fact that she had experienced
no symptoms. Tonya’s doctor
recommended she get tested
after learning that Tonya had a
family history of the disease. What
Tonya didn’t know was that people
with a family history of colorectal
cancer have 2-3 times the risk
of developing colorectal cancer
compared to those with no family
history of the disease.
Had Tonya’s doctor not looked
into her family history, she likely
wouldn’t be alive
today.
“I was given
radiation and
chemo pills prior
to surgery to
shrink the tumor,”
Tonya said. Over
the course of
the next year, Tonya underwent
several surgeries and 12 rounds
of chemotherapy. The battle was
not an easy one. In March 2012,
Tonya was declared cancer free.
After her astonishing experience,
Tonya urged her family members
to get tested for the disease as
well. In 2013, Tonya’s brother was
diagnosed with colorectal cancer.
He was only tested as a result of
Tonya’s diagnosis and, fortunately,
the cancer was detected very
early. When colorectal cancer is
detected in its early stages it is
much more likely to be cured,
treatment is less extensive, and
the recovery is much faster.
Tonya’s brother is now healthy and
cancer free.
Tonya joined Fight Colorectal
Cancer to help educate and
support patients, push for changes
in policy that will increase and
improve research and empower
survivors like herself, and to raise
the voices of those touched by
colorectal cancer. Tonya is an
advocate for awareness within
the African American community,
a population at higher risk of
developing the disease, and within
her community as a whole.
Tonya has become a strong
advocate in the fight for a cure
and continues to empower
individuals to get tested and to do
so early.

“Colorectal
cancer
is 100%
preventable”
Elizabeth Dennis
Elizabeth Dennis was diagnosed
with stage III colorectal cancer
in May 2006 at the age of 39.
Elizabeth and Tanya, though
unrelated, share more than a last
name. Like Tonya, Elizabeth’s
family had a history of colorectal
cancer. Due to the high risk of
developing the disease, Elizabeth
had received her first colonoscopy
in 1994, and a second in 2001.
After her third colonoscopy in
2006, however, Elizabeth was
given the diagnosis she had been
fearing: colorectal cancer.
Elizabeth’s battle with cancer
almost claimed her life. Due to
complications with surgeries
and various other treatments,
Elizabeth was left with a
permanent colostomy and
continues to receive outpatient
surgery every three months
despite her current cancer-free
diagnosis. The aftermath of her
encounter with colorectal cancer
has been severe. Elizabeth says
that she is determined to bring
about awareness of the disease
throughout the world in the hope
that no one would have to suffer
as she has.
Recently, Elizabeth saved the
lives of two close friends. After
encouraging them to get tested,
it was found they both had pre-
cancerous polyps. Had she not
urged them to get tested, their
cancer would likely have gone
undiscovered and could have led
to their deaths. Elizabeth cannot
stress enough the importance of
being proactive about colorectal
cancer and getting the necessary
screens.
“Colorectal cancer is 100%
preventable,” says Elizabeth. “And
as long as I am living I will be sure
everyone I come into contact with
knows it!”
Tonya and Elizabeth’s stories both
testify to the power an individual
has to make a difference in the
lives of those around them. Their
desires to bring about awareness
and their encouragements to
others to get tested have quite
literally saved lives. They stand
strong and empowered alongside
Fight CRC and refuse to let
colorectal cancer win.

Walter Hickman is a man of
God. An active father and
sports enthusiast, he played in
basketball leagues,
golf leagues, and
coached baseball.
He led a very
normal life until
the day he was
diagnosed with
stage II colon
cancer at the age
of 42.
In the midst of a
21-day fast with his
wife, Walter began
experiencing severe pain in his
lower back. After seeking medical
attention for what he thought was
just a case of indigestion, it was
recommended that he undergo
tests. His test results weren’t good;
doctors found a cancerous mass
on Walter’s colon and he was
admitted to the hospital that night.
“It was surreal for me, hearing the
words, “We believe it’s cancer,”
and then being told that I’m
about to be admitted. [It] was my
‘moment of truth’, my ‘fork
in the road.’ This was my
moment to either blame
God for this mess I was
in or Praise Him. I knew
that I could do nothing at
that point, but that God
had the power to do it
all. I chose to praise Him
and what a great choice it
was.”
After an eight and a half
hour surgery, Walter lost
12 inches of his colon and
13 lymph nodes; the mass was
removed and he thought the fight
was over. He was told, however,
that without chemotherapy,
his cancer would likely return.
Delicately, Walter began the next
step of his battle:
recovery.
Walter’s
journey through
chemotherapy was
draining. He began
to get thinner and
started losing his hair.
The chemotherapy
was proving to
be physically,
emotionally, and
spiritually exhausting.
Through his treatments, Walter
encountered many people who
were going through struggles
similar to his own. He began to
see that he wasn’t the only one
fighting for his life and his passion
to find a cure for colorectal cancer
began to grow. Patients with
much worse conditions and much
higher spirits gave Walter a new
perspective on life and motivated
him to use his circumstances to
help others.
Now healthy and not currently
undergoing any treatment,
Walter is an involved advocate
for Fight CRC as well as other
organizations. He believes in the
power of prayer and continues to
spread his message to as many
people as he can. His message
is simple: life doesn’t end when
bad things happen to you. Using
your experiences to help others
in similar situations is one of the
greatest gifts you can give. The
fight for the cure is a difficult one,
but it is certainly worth fighting.
“I feel like this disease can be
beat with education and sharing
information. This is a fight that we
can win. Cancer has taken its best
shot at me and I am still standing.
Now it is my turn to do my best
Muhammad Ali impression and
‘rope a dope’ this disease and
send it back to the pit of hell
where it was born.”
“This was my
moment to
either blame
God for this
mess I was
in, or praise
Him.”

As a 9-year-old, your days are
consumed with typical 9-year-old
activities. Riding the school bus,
playing outside with friends, and
running through sprinklers on
a hot summer day. Things like
cancer aren’t typically on the radar
of a 9-year-old. But for Evelyn
Keener, 9-years-old was when her
journey with cancer began.
Evelyn only remembers confusion
as the doctor revealed to her
parents the results of the
colonoscopy she had received
after months of colorectal
bleeding. Evelyn had benign
polyps in over 90 percent of her
colon; she was diagnosed with
stage I colorectal cancer.
After a surgery that removed 90
percent of her colon,
Evelyn had to undergo
an ileostomy. This
procedure reroutes
the small intestine,
directing bodily waste
to a pouch located
outside of the body. At
only 9 years old, Evelyn
was forced to adapt to
a completely different way of life.
In addition to enduring a major
surgery performed primarily on
patients much older than her, she
had to relearn what she could and
could not eat. With an ileostomy,
patients encounter serious dietary
restrictions.
The once carefree life she led had
completely changed. Since her
diagnosis, Evelyn has undergone
over 10 surgeries and continues to
face various medical challenges.
Yet everyday she reminds herself
that she is a survivor.
Evelyn stands alongside Fight CRC
in the hope of making a change
for the men, women and children
that are suffering from colorectal
cancer today. She fights so that
one day the needed funds can
be raised, the research can be
initiated, and a cure can be found
for the cancer that affected her at
such an early age.
Evelyn is also passionate about
helping individuals who are unable
to seek the support and medical
attention that is necessary due
to a lack of funds. Insufficient
insurance coverage often stands
in the way of people receiving
the screenings they need to
proactively combat colorectal
cancer.
Evelyn joins Fight CRC in the
effort to bring about changes in
legislation that aid in the fight
against colorectal cancer. She
inspires individuals and gives
hope to those struggling with the
disease.
When asked to share a message
to individuals in need of hope,
Evelyn simply says, “Be strong. Be
encouraged. Be brave.”

A cancer diagnosis for some can
mean the end of life as they know
it. It can irreversibly devastate en-
tire families and leave individuals
without hope. All at once, future
plans are put on hold and the fight
for survival takes center stage.
For those who are
fortunate enough
to win their battle,
life goes on. For
some, cancer is a
mere speed bump.
Life is picked up
where it was left
before their di-
agnosis and is
continued, perhaps with a great-
er appreciation for life and good
health. For others, cancer is less
of a speed bump and more of a
change in direction. The health
that was once fought for is now
being used to encourage and
advocate on behalf of those who
are now experiencing a similar
struggle.
Gailya Walter, a part time public
health professional and an advo-
cate for more than seven cancer
research organizations, exempli-
fies the determination of
one individual to make a
difference. Cancer has
affected her life in more
ways than one. At age 46,
Gailya was diagnosed with
colorectal cancer. Addi-
tionally, she has suffered
the loss of both parents
to advanced lung cancer
and an uncle to colon
cancer.
Now in remission, she spends
much of her time as an advocate
for cancer survivors and their
families. The burden of cancer
has lain heavily on Gailya’s life,
but she chooses to
use her experiences to
help others.
“Everyone has a voice
in the fight to reduce
the burden of cancer
in their communities,”
says Gailya.
She chooses to use
her voice to motivate
people everywhere to “get involved
and get tested.” She takes advan-
tage of the health she has fought
for and uses it to advocate on be-
half of those whose health is being
threatened by cancer.
When asked why she chooses to
be an advocate and fight colorec-
tal cancer, this inspirational wom-
an says, “Because I can.”
“Everyone has
a voice in the
fight to reduce
the burden of
cancer in their
communities.”

DAVID BRASHER
No symptoms, no concern. A
simple checkup transformed into
a moment that would change a
life. David Brasher, a 47 year-
old man, with no symptoms or
indications of anything out of the
ordinary, had not yet considered
things like colonoscopies. He had
no problems, issues, bleeding
or swelling, so when his doctor
recommended tests, he wasn’t
concerned.
During the tests, however, polyps
were removed and a tumor was
found. David, a happy, active,
and seemingly healthy man, was
diagnosed with stage III colorectal
cancer. Due to the severity of his
condition, he was given only 3 to 5
years to live.
Needless to say, David found
this diagnosis hard
to swallow. After
deciding that he
wasn’t going to
allow anyone to
put an expiration
date on his life,
David sought a
second opinion. He
visited the Cancer
Treatment Centers
of America (CTCA),
where he received
confirmation that
he did, in fact, have
stage III colorectal
cancer.
At CTCA,
however, the
doctors did
not put a limit on the
days that David had
left to enjoy his life.
That very day David
began treatment
on his long journey
towards remission.
With the news of
cancer, David’s
active lifestyle
was brought into question.
An avid motorcyclist, wake
boarder, and weight lifter, David
enjoyed participating in things
that demanded a lot from his
body. David found inspiration to
continue the things that he loved
from somewhere that he least
expected.
At the cancer treatment center,
David encountered a fragile old
man nearing his 90s. The oxygen
tank on the floor next to him made
it clear that the old man was not in
good shape. As David sat beside
the man, he heard him say, “You
know, it’s going to be alright. It’s
not that bad, because God is
going to take care of you.”
In that moment, David realized
the importance of people like this
man, people who seek to inspire
hope in those who have begun to
lose it. Cancer can turn your entire
world completely upside down,
but David realized he did not have
to let it define how he
spent the rest of his life.
Today, David advocates
for individuals dealing
with similar issues that
he’s endured during
his battle with cancer.
He is passionate about
making a change in
the age barrier for
colorectal cancer
screening because he
knows that at the age of
45, he wouldn’t be alive
today if he had waited until 50 to
get screened.
David is currently in remission,
with no expiration date placed on
his life. He stands among the one
million colorectal cancer survivors
and alongside Fight CRC to fight
everyday for changes in research
and legislation that will ultimately
lead to a world free of colorectal
cancer.
