March was another successful month for the advocacy efforts of twins Kimberly Schoolcraft of Springfield and Karen Fogarty of Westfield. Between state proclamations and a trip to Washington, D.C., the two continued their mission of raising awareness for colorectal cancer.
Colon cancer has impacted the family directly as a number of years ago, Schoolcraft lost her partner Andy to colon cancer. This sparked the twins’ advocacy mission and since then, through their volunteer work, they have made, and lost, numerous friends to the disease. Often due to the fact that the disease is unexpected for such young people to be diagnosed.
