The Colon Cancer Foundation, established in 2008, is a non-profit organization dedicated to reducing colorectal cancer and related deaths through research support, public awareness, and education. Their mission is critical as colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death. They aim to raise awareness about the importance of colorectal cancer screening and offer various ways for individuals to get involved, such as participating in events like the Colon Cancer Challenge and fundraising initiatives.
Colorectal cancer is not limited to a specific demographic, affecting both men and women across all races and age groups. The foundation emphasizes the rising incidence and mortality rates of early-age onset colorectal cancer and the need for regular screening and high-quality therapy to prevent the disease. They provide resources and information on colorectal cancer symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment, highlighting the significance of early detection and intervention. Through their efforts, the Colon Cancer Foundation strives to create a world without colorectal cancer.
