Our Mission & Vision
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Angelic Warrior Foundation is to increase colorectal cancer awareness, and to provide the emotional and financial support that patients, caregivers, and families need in order to thrive.
OUR VISION
The Angelic Warrior Foundation’s vision is to help save lives and prevent premature deaths from colorectal cancer.
An unprecedented number of people under the age of 45 (the newest minimum age for colon cancer screening), are being diagnosed with colorectal cancer; therefore increasing the mortality rate of patients in this age bracket. We would like to decrease this number by bringing greater awareness and encouraging early screening (especially to those under age 50) who may be at high risk.
We would also like to see individuals , who are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, live happy, healthy, & productive lives with the love and support of their caregivers, family, friends, the medical community, & other community support persons. The Angelic Warrior Foundation is committed to providing a database of helpful resources, funding opportunities, and a networking system that connects patients and their families to available resources.
