Fight Colorectal Cancer recognizes that people get their information from a great many sources.

Because you are part of One Million Strong we know that you struggle at times with being over stimulated with data, news and information . . . you need to decide if getting too many emails works for you or if being bombarded with messages in this often fast paced social media world of multi media can be balanced.

It’s easy to miss out or not catch something important, especially if it may impact your health or the health of a loved one.

This is why we have tried to expand our reach from just this web site and email blasts to many social media platforms such as:

• Pinterest,
• SlideShare – Presentations,
• Vimeo – Video Library,
• Flickr – Event Photos

Facebook has been our break out platform, as our InfoGraphic details: more people are connected, sharing and engaged in this one medium as compared to the many others. But don’t let that stop you from connecting in other ways. YOU can decide where to go and how we can help you find answers to your questions and concerns.

It’s a lot to manage but we try to engage and share in all different forums because we know many of YOU are using these tools or are about to use them – and if you’re not, we really need you to connect. These tools are only successful if TOGETHER we participate. We count on you to contribute, to share, to comment and be an active member of our community in the fight against colorectal cancer.

Thanks for following along, take the journey one more step – connect with us, join one of our social networks above or give us your email below, it’s that easy!

It’s been two weeks since the launch of the Colorectal Cancer Awareness Twibbon and we’re delighted to report that we have surpassed the 250-Twibbon mark!

Add this "twibute" to your Twitter background!

We would love to continue spreading awareness, so for those of you interested in showing your virtual support, you can still add the Twibbon to your Twitter avatar and/or add the Twibbon to your Facebook profile picture.

You can even go a step beyond and change your background to the 250-Person Twibute during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month – a collage of all of you who have joined in this important cause. This is a great, easy way to get your friends and followers talking more about colorectal cancer and why there is such a need for funding for prevention and treatment research.

A big thank you to all those who have added a Twibbon so far – we appreciate all of your support in getting the word out!
