Advocacy! Better together! John & I helped place the 27,000+ blue flags on our nation’s capital lawn. Each one represents an individual under 50 that will be diagnosed with colon cancer by the year 2030. Screening age begins at 45. Sooner if you have a family history of CRC or a history of gastrointestinal difficulties..
