Help FUNdraise A Cure
March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. According to the American Cancer Society, besides skin cancer, colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer diagnosed in both men and women in the United States. By screening for colorectal cancer at its early stages it can prevent the disease altogether. The American Cancer Society urges adults 45 or older to not wait to get screened as the low-cost screening can help prevent colorectal cancer. Visit www.cancer.org/colon to learn more about ways to prevent any diagnosis.
