Milan Djordjevic
At the age of 24, Milan was diagnosed with colorectal cancer. At that time, he was leading a very active life as equestrian trainer and rider and working as journalist. Because he was so young, it never occurred to him that he had serious health problems. After the diagnosis of colorectal cancer was confirmed, Milan underwent surgery and afterwords was treated with the adjuvant treatment. After less than a year, he went back to his work and normal life.
Today this 35 years old judge in equestrian sport is working actively on many different levels to raise awareness on colorectal cancer. Together with EuropaColon, in 2012 Milan has started an initiative for young people affected by colorectal cancer - Young Voices United against CRC. His idea is for Young Voices United against CRC to become Europe's largest support community for young adults affected by the disease. As a vice-president of Serbian patient group against colorectal cancer, Milan is very active in his home country and determined to see the future free from colorectal cancer.
