37 years old. Healthy runner. Dad of two. Stage 4 colon cancer.

That was the devastating call former Boston College baseball player Christopher Kowalski received out of nowhere.

He had only subtle signs — a little fatigue and upper rib pain. Then came the news: colon cancer that had already spread to his liver.

His wife told him they had 48 hours to cry, feel everything… then fight. Now he’s turning his battle into a wake-up call.

Doctors are seeing colorectal cancer rising sharply in people in their 20s and 30s. Warning signs can be easy to miss (blood in stool, bowel changes, unexplained weight loss, abdominal pain), but catching it early saves lives — up to 90% of cases are preventable with screening.

Chris’s simple message: “Life is precious.”

If something feels off — no matter your age — don’t wait. Get checked.

What symptom or change made you finally go see a doctor?

Miami-Dade welcomes innovation, but never at the expense of public safety.

If @Waymo intends to operate in Miami-Dade, critical issues such as vehicles freezing in the middle of traffic must be fully resolved before any deployment.

...and the ad for it is narrated by her grandma, Yvonne Lee Odom, a civil rights trailblazer.

Storytelling done right 👏

This is the most valuable thing I own. It’s a folder of photos of my father, spanning his life from being a baby, an educator, a husband and a father. It’s the only evidence of his life that will exist over time. These are the “documents” you read about people taking from their homes. When you hear someone say they’ve lost everything in a fire, this is much of that everything, if not all of it. Those who say they’ll be okay still have their folders and their albums. Those who are inconsolable have lost them. Just behind the immeasurable loss of life is the loss of the proof of life. I don’t practice prayer but tonight I will say one for everyone who no longer has these items. It’s not about the art and the collectibles. It’s the photos, the letters, the class rings, the eyeglasses and the things we keep to remind us that those we loved were here. May those who have lost so much find some semblance of hope and support from their family and friends. Stay safe, look out for yourself and for one another, and trust that humanity and all it entails, though sometimes hard to see, is alive and well. This is truly devastating.
