This journey started with John B. Johnson: marathoner, Identity Architect, dad, and now, cancer butt-kicker. At 35, after qualifying for the Boston Marathon, he noticed blood in his stool. Assuming it was just hemorrhoids, he delayed a colonoscopy until after the race. Two weeks later, he was diagnosed with stage 2 colorectal cancer. Thanks to early detection and treatment, he's now cancer-free and training to run the Boston Marathon alongside his surgeon, Dr. David Rosen, to raise awareness for butt health.
