Review for DetecTogether, Westborough, MA, USA
This past April, I had the honor of running the 126th Boston Marathon with Team DetecTogether. The mission of DetecTogether is to save lives by teaching people how to detect cancer early and be active partners in their healthcare. I first learned about this important organization through my friend Henry Carr at the College of the Holy Cross. Henry would speak on campus for DetecTogether about his personal experiences with cancer, and I am proud to continue supporting this mission in honor of Henry who passed away in 2017. Having personally known too many family and friends touched by cancer diagnoses, I've seen the devastation this disease can cause. We are all at risk of receiving a cancer diagnosis, and more than 40% of us will receive one throughout our lives. Patient awareness and action is key, timing is everything and you can be 10X more likely to survive cancer if you catch it early. DetecTogether is an incredible organization with a life-saving mission by giving more people access to the tools they need for early detection.
