My Nonprofit Reviews

At the age of 37, 12 years into my career as a Firefighter, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 Melanoma. During my year long oral chemotherapy treatment I was fortunate enough to meet the wonderful people from DetecTogether. They promote early detection and also educate firefighters on the dangers of occupational cancer and the 3 steps to detect. As a firefighter and a young adult DetecTogethers message really resonated with me. I started speaking with them and telling my story. They gave me a platform to help others. The organization truly gave me a purpose while I was going through treatment and I truly believe the work we did together was life changing for myself and others. I will forever be grateful for this organization and the great friends I’ve met there. I am 1 year 3 months cancer free, but I will never stop fighting for a cure and never stop educating others with DetecTogether.
