The Ferro Brothers from Epic Experience

Michael and Colin Ferro - the Ferro brothers from the mountains of Colorado

The Ferro family founded and operates Epic Experience, a non-profit that offers free adventure camps for cancer survivors. Think whitewater rafting, hiking, XC skiing, campfires, and really an opportunity for people impacted by cancer to make deep connections and in some cases to re-define what is possible for them.

Epic Experience also offers other survivorship programs, including regional one-day events, online fitness and mobility classes.

All of this stemmed from Michael Ferro’s battle with a brain tumor AND testicular cancer.

We talk to Michael and Colin about what it has been like to face the challenge of cancer as brothers, the impact Michael's disease has had on the family, and which brother really is the family favorite.

About the Podcast

Man Up to Cancer
The show built for men facing cancer, and the people who love us!
I'm your host, Trevor Maxwell. I'm a stage IV colon cancer survivor, and I've got a message for other men: You don't have to go through cancer alone.

On the Man Up to Cancer podcast, you can expect raw, unfiltered conversations about men, cancer, and our experiences. My guests will be other patients, survivors, advocates, health experts, and friends from #cancerland.

We'll tackle a wide range of topics including cancer screenings, chemo, friendship, scars, sex and intimacy, grief, and the physical suck-fest of cancer. But .. PLOT TWIST.. we're also going to joke, laugh, and have fun.
