Pleased to speak on the Floor in recognition to #hockey legend & voice of the @Blackhawks, Eddie Olczyk. Eddie is courageously using his platform to speak out about #coloncancer, including the need for earlier screenings & continued research to find a curehttp://bit.ly/2HRNAFB
Today, Eddie he is facing another battle—though this one is off the ice. He wants to emphasize that there’s nothing wrong with getting colonoscopies at an earlier age & believes that if he can help just one individual get a checkup sooner, his battle with cancer was worth it.pic.twitter.com/XLIGHaGxgY
A native son of #Chicago, Eddie Olczyk has exemplified the heart, grit, and character of the city we both call home. To Eddie and to all fighting cancer—stay strong and know we’re with you.pic.twitter.com/osefpW10X0
Is there anything less offensive to advocate for than being against a specific disease?
If somebody says speaking out against #ColonCancer is "courageous", it says something about what kind of risk the speaker is willing to take.
My grandfather died of colon cancer at 46. My cousin has it now at 50. Screening needs to start at 40. 50 is too late. Insurance companies won't cover it earlier.
It won't matter GOP laws and actions are literally killing people daily so. Good luck.
