March 5th is Dress in Blue Day

Help us raise awareness about colorectal cancer and the importance of screening by wearing blue on national Dress in Blue Day! It is celebrated on the first Friday of March so this year it's on March 5th.

• Colorectal cancer is the #2 cause of cancer death in the U.S.
• Over 150,000 Americans will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year.
• Colorectal cancer often has no symptom at all until it's at an advanced stage.
• Colorectal cancer is 80% preventable when detected early.
• You can reduce your risk through regular screening.
• Beginning at age 50 (or earlier if you have a family history), everyone should be screened for colorectal cancer.

March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. Spread the word!
