Survivor, Stage IV Colon Cancer

Trevor is a stage IV colon cancer survivor, and he has a message for other men: You don’t have to go through cancer alone. Trevor is the founder of Man Up to Cancer. Man Up to Cancer inspires men to connect and avoid isolation throughout our cancer journeys. We are changing what it means to “Man Up” in the face of cancer. To us, it means knowing we are smarter and stronger as a pack than we are as lone wolves.
