Fight With Fletcher August 2026 Newsletter One Step at a Time

Hello everyone,

Welcome to the August edition of the Fight With Fletcher Newsletter.

As always, thank you for taking the time to follow my journey. Whether you've prayed for me, donated, attended my benefit concert, listened to my podcast, read my blog, shared my story, or simply checked in on me, your support has meant more than words can express.

This past month has been filled with challenges, milestones, and reasons to remain hopeful.

💙 Encouraging News


One of the biggest moments this month was receiving encouraging news from my latest PET scan.


The scan showed that my liver metastases have decreased in both size and metabolic activity, with no new areas of cancer identified. While my battle with Stage IV colon cancer continues, this was an encouraging reminder that progress is possible.


Every scan comes with uncertainty, but I'm grateful for this positive step forward.

Thank you to everyone who has continued praying for me and supporting me throughout this journey.


🎶 Reflecting on the Fight With Fletcher Festival


Although several weeks have passed since the Fight With Fletcher Benefit Concert, I continue reflecting on what an incredible day it was.


Watching musicians, family, friends, volunteers, sponsors, and supporters come together reminded me just how powerful community can be.


The concert wasn't just about raising awareness—it was about creating hope, celebrating resilience, and proving that no one has to fight alone.


If you haven't yet read my reflections from the concert, I'd love for you to check them out:

Reflections from Fletcher: A Heartfelt Recap of Fight With Fletcher


I truly hope this is only the beginning of many future Fight With Fletcher events.


🎙️ My Podcast Has Officially Launched!


I'm excited to share that Episode One of my podcast,

"Fletcher Fox: You Don't Know Me – Chapter One,"

is now available!


In this episode, I open up about my life before cancer, surviving youth residential treatment programs, my advocacy work, and the experiences that shaped who I am today.

Part Two is also coming very soon.


Listen here:



🌐 Growing Fight With Fletcher


One of my biggest goals this year has been continuing to grow FightWithFletcher.com into something much bigger than a personal website.

I hope it becomes a home for:

  • My cancer journey

  • Advocacy

  • Public speaking

  • My podcast

  • Blog articles

  • Community events

  • Future nonprofit initiatives

  • Resources that inspire hope and resilience

If you haven't explored the website recently, I invite you to take a look.


📢 Continuing My Advocacy


This month also brought significant news for survivors of the troubled teen industry.

Utah ordered the final Provo Canyon School campus to shut down after revoking its license over serious safety and compliance failures. The decision follows years of survivor testimony and advocacy, including the work of Paris Hilton, who brought national attention to her experiences through her documentary This Is Paris, her memoir, and her legislative advocacy.


As someone who spent nearly four years in residential treatment programs at Logan River Academy and Frederic L. Chamberlain International School, this news was deeply meaningful to me. It reinforced why I continue speaking out for stronger protections, greater accountability, and a future where every child is treated with dignity and compassion.


🌞 Finding Joy Between Treatments


Cancer has taught me something I never expected.

Some of life's greatest moments aren't necessarily the biggest ones.

They're often the simplest.


This month included:

  • Celebrating America's 250th anniversary in Philadelphia

  • Spending time with friends

  • Visiting New York City and Long Island

  • Attending community events

  • Continuing to build Fight With Fletcher

  • Appreciating every opportunity to simply enjoy life between treatments


These moments remind me that even while fighting cancer, life continues.
