A heartfelt thank you to our sponsors, speakers, and our partner, the Colon Cancer Coalition, for making the Living with Lynch Patient Workshop in Minneapolis a powerful weekend of learning, advocacy, and support. It’s inspiring to see the growth and emotional connections made as patients and caregivers find strength in each other’s experiences. Many participants met someone outside of their own family with Lynch syndrome for the first time, and the bonds they formed are invaluable to our shared mission. #LynchSyndrome #CancerAwareness #Advocacy #LivingwithLynch Merck Exact Sciences ImmunityBio, Inc.
