3-17 Foundation for Colon Cancer Support

On June 29th, 2012, my mother, Michelle Insco, was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. She fought tirelessly for 8 years and didn't complain once. On July 13th, 2020 her fight came to an end. Although she may have passed, she did not lose her battle to Colon Cancer, it may have taken her body but the disease never took her spirit. 

Our family was talking and in the days following the end of her battle, we talked about everything we went through together. Colon Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the U.S., but is consistently underfunded.

My family and I would like to change that, we want to shine a light this disease and push for the discovery of a cure so no one has to go through what we already have.

We miss mom everyday, but if we learned anything from her when she quadrupled her life expectancy after her original diagnosis, it's that we must keep fighting.

She never gave up, and to honor her attitude and in memory of her life we want to dedicate our mission to helping others that are going through the same thing we did. We want to help families know what questions to ask and what opportunities to pursue in order to maximize the time they have with their loved one as well as try to extend that time as long as possible.

So, our mission is two-fold; 1) to raise and distribute funds to promising colon cancer research initiatives and ; 2) support families battling this disease who need assistance.

Thank you for your consideration, together we can save lives and strengthen relationships!
