"TAKE CARE OF YOUR HEALTH"- Reevis Begay
This is the message, Reevis left with family and friends in the last days of his life.
No one in the family had been diagnose with cancer until Reevis' diagnosis. We had no knowledge of what colon cancer was, let alone any type of cancer. Hopefully, with this website and foundation we can save the lives of others. So, they do not have to experience the pain of seeing a loved one go through what Reevis went through for three months.

After the passing of Reevis, we are hearing more and more of our native people being diagnose or losing their life to colon cancer.
Colon Cancer Prevention and Early Detection
Living a healthy lifestyle can help reduce your risk of colorectal cancer. But regular screening is also important. Testing can often find colon cancer early, when it’s most treatable, or sometimes even prevent it altogether.
