This Call on Congress will be the seventh time for me to go to Washington, DC to talk to my Members of Congress about cancer in general and colorectal cancer specifically.

If you are worried about going so was I the first time I went. You will get excellent training from C3 and you will make an impression on your Senators and Representative as well as the people on their staffs.
