In the summer of 2023, HOMAGE COO Steve Werman’s good friend Brett urged a few of his buddies to get a colonoscopy. Steve was only 40, but as a gastroenterologist, Brett has seen colon cancer impact younger and younger people. Steve heeded his buddy’s advice, and a few months later, found that he had a cancerous tumor in his colon. As a father of three young children, Steve feared that he would leave his family behind and miss out on seeing his kids grow up.
Steve is one of the lucky ones: his cancer was caught early, and he’s currently on the road to recovery. As part of his journey, Steve is running the New York City marathon with a team of friends and colleagues to raise money for the Colorectal Cancer Alliance. His mission is to raise awareness about the recommended age for colonoscopies, and to shine a light on a deadly disease people don’t like to talk about too much. No ifs, ands or butts: pay homage, and go for a colonoscopy!
A portion of proceeds from this t-shirt will benefit the Colorectal Cancer Alliance.
