Early morning with our advocates telling all GMA viewers about One Million Strong!

Whew! What a day!

We’d say our Times Square kickoff was a hit!

• We learned new moves.
• Our PSAs ran on NASDAQ boards.
• We met amazing people.
• The GMA show promoted our cause.
• We saw amazing abs.
• We did yoga in Times Square.
• We let the world know about COLORECTAL CANCER and ONE MILLION STRONG.

Thank you again to our main sponsor, Bayer Healthcare, for our One Million Strong Times Square Kickoff and Fight Colorectal Cancer board member David Wicks who gave us the opportunity to show our PSA on the NASDAQ boards!

Enjoy a few highlights of our event in NYC today.

More to come on Monday…
