Tiano says for years she has seen monuments light up for causes such as breast cancer and she wanted to have more awareness for stomach cancer.“My parents taught us to always help others. I have this stubbornness to try and do something, change something, make a difference against this disease because it has taken so many of my family and friends. It gives me purpose,” she said.
“One of the things we focus on, is hope and to see the light through even the darkest of times,” Tiano said. “We wanted to raise awareness, because honestly so few people know about or have even heard of stomach cancer. By the time I was 30, I had lost both my parents to cancer. My father died of colon cancer in 1994 at 65 and my mother died of a brain tumor in 1996 at 59. My patient advocacy really started when my dad was going through colorectal cancer and continued when my mother was diagnosed.
