I've got some exciting news to share!

I've been selected to join the GI Cancers Alliance Patient & Caregiver Advisory Board! As many of you know, I've walked through the valley of cancer not once, but twice — and this is exactly the kind of work that makes that fight mean something bigger.

I get to sit at the table with other survivors, caregivers, and advocates and help shape how we support people facing GI cancers.

A Bridge 2 Light's Chronic Disease Awareness pillar just got a powerful new platform, and I couldn't be more grateful.

Thank you all for the love and support that got US here.

What an incredible story of resilience and faith! 🙏
Retired Army Col. Dr. Lawrence Henry served nearly 30 years in the U.S. Army — six years as a Military Intelligence Officer and over two decades as a Green Beret, deployed across Africa, Central America, South America, Korea, and in the Global War on Terrorism. After retiring in 2020, he faced his toughest battle yet — not on the battlefield, but against stage 3C colon cancer, believed to be linked to burn pit exposure during his service.

He fought. He rang the bell in March 2022. And then cancer came back — this time stage 4.
But Col. Henry didn't give up. He went to MD Anderson, underwent chemotherapy and two surgeries, and today his scans show NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE. 💪

Now he's channeling that fight into a nonprofit - A Bridge 2 Light - raising awareness about colorectal cancer — especially in Black communities where rates are disproportionately high.

His advice: "Find doctors you're comfortable with who will walk you through the process and explain everything."

Read his full story on MD Anderson's Cancerwise below:

UT MD Anderson Cancer Center

When retired military veteran Lawrence Henry, Ph.D., learned he had a colon cancer recurrence, he was referred to UT MD Anderson for treatment. He shares how his care team and the entire UT MD Anderson staff made him feel comfortable and why he believes in self-advocacy.

**A MUST SEE***

Who cares for the caregiver?

One of the more important conversations I've facilitated in a longtime!

Exploring the question, "Who cares for the caregiver?" A Bridge 2 Light brought together

- A Mother
- A Father
- A Husband
- A Wife
- A Son

to discuss how did they navigated the complexities of caregiving to those with curable, non-curable, and terminal cancer.

Most of us do not "raise our hands" to be caregivers. However, this podcast will create not only a sensitivity for past, present and future caregivers (regardless of the illness) but provide resources to assist during uncertain times.

Again, a must see!

Who cares for the caregiver?

As a mother, a father, a wife, a husband or a child, most of the time, we do not sign up to be family caregivers - it just happens!

Tonight, A Bridge 2 Light hosts a very important conversation examining the question,

"Who cares for the caregiver?"

Probably one of the more important conversations I can have with family and friends.

Please share and save a life.
