Resilience In Motion
At 35, Zed was denied screening because he didn’t “fit the criteria.”
Months later, he was diagnosed with Stage 3 cancer.
His journey of surgery, chemo, setbacks, and resilience exposed a huge problem: more young people are getting cancer, in a faulty system that too often fails people.
So he turned his diagnosis into a positive:
create an accessible screening option for anyone who wants answers early, not after it’s too late.
TopazFIT is the result.
Simple. At-home. Immediate results.
Built so more people catch problems earlier and fewer families face what his did.
Don’t wait. Early detection isn’t just medical, it’s personal.
Our Mission
TopazFIT exists because cancer came for someone who “shouldn’t” have been at risk.
After Zed was diagnosed at 35, we made one promise: no one should struggle to get screened. Our mission is simple:
Give everyone the power to catch and diagnose cancer early.
