<b>National Colon Cancer Awareness Month</b>. Since then, it has grown to be a rallying point for the colon cancer community where thousands of patients, survivors, caregivers and advocates throughout the country join together to spread colon cancer awareness
by wearing blue, holding fundraising and education events, talking to friends and family about screening and so much more.
