The partnership allows us to elevate the visibility of our research and programming focused on understanding the rising number of young Americans affected by colon and rectal cancer and the need for broad and impactful education about the importance of earlier conversations and on time screening for colon cancer. This will exponentially extend the reach of the Colon Cancer Foundation and our ability to fulfill our mission of ending colorectal cancer and improving the quality of life of those already affected by the disease.”
