Prescott lost his mother to colon cаncer in 2013, and he has been outspoken about encouraging folks to get checked so they might possibly save their lives. He also understands what cаncer does to people, and he wishes that no one else has to go through it.

“My mom was my hero, number one supporter, and fan,” Prescott said. “It was tough just watching what cаncer did to her and knowing that all I could do was support her, love her and be there to try to pick her up when she was down.”

Prescott has also collaborated with the American Cаncer Society to increase awareness of the condition and encourage people to be tested and screened for it.

“Partnering with the American Cаncer Society is another way for me to honor my mother’s legacy with my Faith FigҺt Finish Foundation,” Prescott said. “Watching her journey highlighted the importance of providing access to cаncer screening, education, and survivorship resources.””I’m happy to help amplify that message and continue to support better cаncer outcomes in any way I can.”

Meanwhile, Ryan Reynolds has been open about pushing people to have a colonoscopy. After losing a wager, Reynolds was cоmpelled to tape his colonoscopy, when the doctor discovered a benign polyp that might progress to cаncer.

Reynolds was fortunate to get it removed before it developed into cаncer, which the doctor believes saved his life.

“This could’ve saved your life. “I’m not kidding,” Reynolds’ doctor informed the star.
