LARRY · Larry Green came to terms with what seemed like his fate. Before learning about the Community Cancer Screening Program of the Cancer Coalition of South Georgia, Larry believed he would eventually succumb to colorectal cancer. My baby brother died from colon cancer, my daddy died from colon cancer ...

I knew one day, I was going to die from colon cancer. Much like many South Georgians, Larry was underinsured and could not afford the care he needed. However, the future of his family tree changed forever when Health Navigator Charles Greene told Larry about the program. Larry was able to receive a colonoscopy during which pre-cancerous polyps were removed and now Larry lives each day without the fear of dying from cancer. Not only that, but he now tells his family to get screened like he did. Thanks to the Cancer Coalition, Larry’s family tree is stronger than ever.

*Larry’s story was the inspiration for the Tree Infographic inside, demonstrating how crucial it is for one to understand family history and to take preventative action.

VICTORIA · Twelve-year old Victoria Natoli’s mother and grandmothers had breast cancer, and Victoria and her friend McKenzie decided to do something about it ... to fight back. The girls asked neighbors for donations and raised $31.30. They were determined that the money would be used to help local residents, so they gave it to the

Cancer Coalition of South Georgia. In Victoria’s words,

I don’t want any other young or older kids to have to go through what I had to go through... so I have raised money with my friend McKenzie to let ladies get scanned for breast cancer.
