As Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month concludes, we’re encouraged to see so many members and partners in the colorectal cancer community come together and raise awareness about the need for expanded CRC screening, increased investment in research and continued advocacy to improve colon cancer outcomes.
This month was filled with great moments, from our members sharing the top six things to know about colorectal cancer, to participating in the White House’s Cancer Moonshot colorectal cancer forum, and much more!
Thank you to each of you for lending your voices to this important issue and reminding everyone that 45 is the new 50!
Here are a few highlights from the month:
#ColorectalCancerAwarenessMonth is almost over, but we raise awareness about #CRC year-round!

Yesterday I had the tremendous honor of speaking @WhiteHouse at the Cancer Moonshot Colorectal Cancer Forum. When I started my research, my dream was the work would influence policy.
