For some reason on another thread, viewers have been making accusations of possible pornography and exploitation. The mission of Colondar is to educate people in crazy ways. 90% of all colorectal cases occur after age 50.
In 2005, 12 brave women gave their story to the world to raise awareness and educate the world that this is not an old person's disease. Diagnosed with the disease myself at age 36 in 2002, I felt I had something taken away from me in the prime of my life.
After seeing the Colondar and meeting some of the models, you realize that only lose you power if you let the disease take it. For the original 12 models, (I could only guess at this point), after being poked, resected, scarred, pouched, chemoed, radiated they had a better feeling of themselves both physically and mentally.
I continue to do advocacy in Pennsylvania in regards to education and Pennsylvania adopting screening legislation. I can honestly say the 2005 Colondar and their subsequent editions changed my life. Hopefully the 2008 Colondar will continue to inspire others.
