Past Webinars

Your Guide in the Fight Resource Meetups

Fight CRC’s Your Guide in the Fight Resource Meetups are free, online gatherings for people affected by colorectal cancer (CRC) seeking access to resources and peer-to-peer support.

Whether you have just been diagnosed, are receiving treatment, or are supporting someone who is facing CRC, these meetups are a safe and reliable place to talk to people who have similar experiences to yours while learning about resources available to you from Fight CRC and partners alike. 

This is a brand new program that we hope will be a valuable resource to our community for years to come -- so we welcome you to join and afterward share your feedback with us on how we can make this something special!

Registration is limited and registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.

Podcasts

This month on the Taboo-ty Podcast, we begin our Ambassador Podcast Series with Episode 1: Carmen Fong.

We are honored to have her as one of our 2021-2022 ambassadors, and by tuning into the podcast you will hear her valuable perspective on surgery for CRC patients and a personal account of what it means for her to be an ambassador.

The podcast will be released on August 23 -- you don’t want to miss it!
