Wesley Autrey - Subway Hero Becomes Colon Cancer Spokesman

Mr. Wesley Autrey, the NYC man who saved the life of a passenger who fell on the subway tracks, recently became a colon cancer spokesman. Excerpt: "The New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) and the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) today announced the launch of a public health campaign featuring Wesley Autrey, who came to the rescue of a fellow New Yorker who fell into the subway tracks last January, to get New Yorkers 50 and older screened for colon cancer. The city-wide Colon Cancer Awareness Campaign will feature Autrey, who just turned 51 and will get his first colonoscopy at HHC’s Harlem Hospital later this month."
