A Bridge 2 Light

What an incredible story of resilience and faith! 🙏
Retired Army Col. Dr. Lawrence Henry served nearly 30 years in the U.S. Army — six years as a Military Intelligence Officer and over two decades as a Green Beret, deployed across Africa, Central America, South America, Korea, and in the Global War on Terrorism. After retiring in 2020, he faced his toughest battle yet — not on the battlefield, but against stage 3C colon cancer, believed to be linked to burn pit exposure during his service.

He fought. He rang the bell in March 2022. And then cancer came back — this time stage 4.
But Col. Henry didn't give up. He went to MD Anderson, underwent chemotherapy and two surgeries, and today his scans show NO EVIDENCE OF DISEASE. 💪

Now he's channeling that fight into a nonprofit - A Bridge 2 Light - raising awareness about colorectal cancer — especially in Black communities where rates are disproportionately high.

His advice: "Find doctors you're comfortable with who will walk you through the process and explain everything."

UT MD Anderson Cancer Center

Colon cancer survivor thankful for doctors’ thoughtful and compassionate approach to treatment When retired military veteran Lawrence Henry, Ph.D., learned he had a colon cancer recurrence, he was referred to UT MD Anderson for treatment.

Who cares for the caregiver?

As a mother, a father, a wife, a husband or a child, most of the time, we do not sign up to be family caregivers - it just happens!

Tonight, A Bridge 2 Light hosts a very important conversation examining the question,

"Who cares for the caregiver?"

Probably one of the more important conversations I can have with family and friends.

Please share and save a life.

March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!

The hardest conversations are - at times - the most important!

31 March (8:00 EST/ 5:00 PST), A Bridge 2 Light will place its focus on exploring the question, "Who cares for the caregiver?"

Most of us do not intend to be caregivers; life happens, and there we are, caregiving for a parent, a sibling, a spouse, or a child with a curable, non-curable, or terminal disease.

Who is caring for the caregiver!?!

Hear testimonies that could equip you for the future!

Tune in on 31 March (8:00 EST/ 5:00 PST), via the platforms below, and "let's learn together and make "The N.E.T." - Work!"
