The official TEXAS proclamation declaring MARCH #colorectalcancer awareness month came in record time. TY Fight Colorectal Cancer for giving me the tools to do this every year. TY to Greg Abbott for signing it & making colorectal #cancer a priority in Texas! #80ineverycommunity #crcsm

Finally got power back today after losing it on Sunday! Feeling very grateful but also worried for those still waiting. I’m eager to join this phone bank to check on our senior citizens and help where I can!
