A Catholic Mother's Mission Bringing Awareness to Colorectal Cancer | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. According to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, more than 151,000 people will be diagnosed with the disease this year, and over 52,000 people will die from it. The fight with CRC is one that Catholic mom, Christy McDonald, knows all too well. Her husband, Jamie, lost his battle to colorectal cancer at the age of 48, leaving behind his wife and 3 children. Now, Christy is raising awareness and advocating for colorectal screenings on her husband's behalf. Christy joins us to share what it was like when her husband found out about his diagnosis and whether he had been screened in the past. She explains whether her faith helped her through that difficult time. Christy has a social media series to continue her advocacy work. She tells us about that. The Catholic mother also gives her message to those whose lives have been affected by cancer. EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
