Sharing the Mission

Welcome to the blog of The Len Atkins Project. Here you will find stories, updates, and reflections that honor Len’s life while raising colorectal cancer awareness. Each post offers a window into our mission: to educate, inspire, and support those affected by cancer.

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.

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?
