In this episode of Heartbreak Warfare Podcast, host Chase Peckham and Caroline Motycka open up about a part of grief that often goes unspoken—the loss of friends they grew deeply connected to through the colon cancer advocacy community.

What began as shared support through unimaginable circumstances became something much more: real friendships, a chosen family bound by understanding, resilience, and love. Chase and Caroline discuss the unique closeness that forms when people walk through cancer together—the late-night check-ins, the shared victories and setbacks, and the heartbreaking reality that this community can also experience profound loss.

They reflect on how these friendships leave a lasting impact, how grief can resurface with every loss, and how honoring those relationships helps keep their memories alive. This is a heartfelt conversation about connection, community, and carrying forward the love of those no longer here.

Step inside one of the most powerful and emotional gatherings in the colorectal cancer community—the Cologuard Classic. Set against the backdrop of a PGA Tour Champions event, this isn’t just a golf tournament—it’s a movement.

In this episode, we take you inside a weekend where survivors, caregivers, families, and advocates come together for something bigger than the game. It’s a space filled with love, remembrance, education, and hope. From honoring those we’ve lost, to celebrating the strength of those still fighting, every moment carries weight.

You’ll hear stories that inspire, moments that break your heart, and conversations that remind us why awareness and early detection matter so deeply. The Cologuard Classic blends sport with purpose—bringing visibility to colorectal cancer while creating a community that refuses to fight alone.

This is more than an event. It’s connection. It’s healing. It’s legacy.

In this deeply personal and emotional episode of the Heartbreak Warfare Podcast, co-host Chase Peckham shares the story of his wife, Keri Peckham, and her courageous battle with stage 4 colon cancer—from the initial diagnosis to her final days.

Joined by co-host Carol, Chase opens up about the realities of walking through terminal illness as a family. Together, they discuss what it looked like to have honest, age-appropriate conversations with their children, how they navigated fear, hope, and grief in real time, and the unexpected strength that came from community.

This episode goes beyond the pain, highlighting the profound lessons Keri’s life and journey left behind—about love, presence, faith, and what truly matters when everything else falls away. It’s a raw and heartfelt conversation about loss, resilience, and the kind of perspective that only comes through deep heartbreak.
