Brook's story

It’s a huge disease. It’s growing in young people and it’s preventable, totally preventable.

– Brook, colon cancer survivor 

Patrick’s Story

Go and screen. It’s the smartest thing anyone could do — eliminate a problem before it occurs.

– Patrick, colon cancer survivor

Helen’s Story

If you're 45 or older, you have to get this test. Because if you have a polyp, and they remove the polyp, you’re not going to get the cancer from that polyp. It’s not debatable.

– Helen, colon cancer survivor
