Lynne Smith Fund

Lynne With Ben



It has been 3 months since Lynne passed. To reflect on what we have accomplished in these three months is mind-boggling. We have raised funds in Lynne's name for her babies. We have seen many of Lynne's friends and family members get screened for Colon Cancer and some have caught early stage cancer. We have created a website that has been published as a link by national cancer websites for our content, which is informing thousands of curious people how - exactly - to get a colonoscopy without paying too much. We are more aware of our body signals. We are talking about Colon Cancer symptoms, without shame. When I spoke at Lynne's funeral, I had no idea why I mentioned her "purpose". I just had to believe that there was some 'reason'. Maybe, we can glean some greater meaning from all of this. Maybe...she has saved a few lives.
