Get Blued! For Colon Cancer Awareness Month
Did you know colon cancer is the second leading cause of
overall cancer deaths in the United States? But it doesn’t have to stay this
way. Early detection through screening can dramatically reduce your risk. This means
having your colon checked regularly starting at age 50, or sooner if you are at
higher risk.
March is Colon Cancer Awareness Month and Friday, March 6
is National Dress in Blue Day. Help
slash these stats by joining the Colon
Cancer Alliance’s Dress in Blue Day movement.
Through this national campaign and their screening, research and patient
support initiatives, we can knock colon cancer out of the top three cancer
killers for good.
Visit www.ccalliance.org to
learn more about colon cancer and how you can get involved. And don’t forget,
screening saves!
Razor Sharp will be participating on March 6th, and encourage YOU to Dress in Blue, too. We'll be making information available and encouraging you to post pictures of yourself in your blue, along with your commitment to get screened!
