Welcome to Tell5Friends Foundation

I went in for a routine colonoscopy at the request of my doctor at the age of 45 and I came out with cancer that had already spread to the liver...stage IV. Had I waited until 50, the outcome would have been poor.

In 2022, I was in ideal shape, running multiple miles each week, lifting weights and training for a marathon.  I felt great and I had no symptoms. I went in because of my doctor's insistence and I thank her for her persistence.

The first question everyone asked was, "How can I help." 

I encourage everyone to tell five friends to prioritize a colonoscopy if they experience symptoms or upon reaching the age of 45. 

Our mission is to support cancer charities that provide assistance to cancer patients & their families and support cancer research.
