Datos y recursos What's your risk level Historias Tienda y material #StrongArmSelfie Why do we fight? We fight for the lives of our loved ones, for a future where colorectal cancer is no longer a threat. What are we fighting for more of? We are fighting for more awareness, more research, and more support for those affected by this disease. Why should we keep fighting? Because colorectal cancer is now the #1 cancer killer among men under 50, and #2 for women under 50, just behind breast cancer, according to a recent ACS report. We must save young lives from this disease! Prioritizing colorectal cancer isn’t a choice; it is a NEED! We will not stop fighting until our voices are heard, and colorectal cancer policy change is made. We need your help to make it happen!
