Sharing the Mission
What You Can Expect
We share more than news about events. You will also read caregiving stories, personal lessons, and advice for families who are navigating cancer. These insights aim to encourage resilience, highlight the importance of early screening, and remind readers that no one walks this journey alone.
Our blog also highlights the groups we support, such as Man Up to Cancer and Fight Colorectal Cancer. These organizations provide essential resources and fund research to improve prevention and treatment. By learning about their work, you will see how your support extends far beyond a single fundraiser.
Why This Blog Matters
Every article connects back to our core mission: building hope and purpose from grief. Whether we share updates on the Len Atkins Memorial Golf Tournament, insights from caregivers, or reflections on Len’s legacy, we want this space to inspire.
We invite you to explore, comment, and share posts that resonate with you. Together we can amplify awareness and create a stronger community of support.

The look on Len’s face and the dejection I felt were indescribable.
No Shave November — And Why Colorectal Cancer Needs to Be Part of the Conversation Too
Can you believe that we are already in the month of November? This month where the beards get thicker, the razors slow down, and the cause behind “No Shave November” takes the spotlight. Most people associate this month with prostate cancer or men’s health in general — and that’s great. Awareness matters.
Cancer Awareness Shouldn’t Have an Expiration Date!
As I was considering a blog topic this month, I couldn’t help but think about October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month. It’s such a powerful movement that paints the world pink and reminds us how awareness can truly make a difference. Of course, March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month — our time to shine blue and amplify the message of screening, prevention, and hope. But what about the other eleven months of the year?
