1. Mr. Lehman is a colon cancer survivor.
2. He signed a one year-agreement, supported by Exact Sciences, to advocate for Fight CRC and wear the Fight CRC logo on his hat at public appearances and in a public service campaign.
3. Mr. Lehman was diagnosed with stage 1 colon cancer in 1995, when he was 36. Mr. Lehman’s cancer was caught early enough to be cured.
4. “At the time, I didn’t realize just how lucky I was to catch my colon cancer in stage 1, when it was most treatable,” Mr. Lehman said. “Now, together with Fight CRC and Exact Sciences, I realize how important it is to tell my story and make more people aware of a disease that isn’t talked about enough. By emphasizing the importance of early detection through a range of colon cancer screening options, we can make a difference in our shared goal of eradicating this disease.”
