Advocacy involves actions taken by concerned citizens to demonstrate their support for an issue.
Fight Colorectal Cancer advocates support and promote patient’s health care rights as well as enhance community health and policy initiatives that focus on the availability, safety and quality of care and research to find a cure for colorectal cancer.
As an organization we believe it is critically important that we bring political attention to the needs of colorectal cancer patients. Everyone needs to be able to get colorectal cancer screening. Researchers need more funding if they are to find a cure. Patients need to be able to receive treatments that are safe and effective in saving or prolonging their lives.
Fight Colorectal Cancer and its network of grassroots advocates are making a difference.
We are united behind a cure.
