If you had 60 seconds to explain why Colon Cancer awareness and research matter, what would you say?

Here’s a simple script you can use, feel free to copy and personalize : “Colon Cancer can affect anyone, and early screening saves lives. Please talk to your doctor about screening and know your family history. Support research and share this message because someone you love could need it.”

What would you add or change to make it sound like YOU? Drop your version below so others can borrow it too. ☺️

If you could go back to the beginning of your diagnosis or treatment, what’s one question you wish you had asked your doctor sooner? It can be about scans, side effects, nutrition, work, or emotional support.

If you’re newly diagnosed, share what you’re unsure about and we’ll help you turn it into a clear question for your next visit.

Your experience could make someone else’s next appointment a little less scary.

Caregivers,

If you could hand a new caregiver one thing today, what would it be? It could be a checklist you use, a question you always ask at appointments, or a simple item you keep in your bag.

Share one resource or tip that’s made your days a little easier. If you’re new to caregiving, tell us what you’re struggling with most and we’ll help you build a starter toolkit together.

Advocacy doesn’t have to be big to be powerful. This weekend, what’s one small action you can take- share a screening reminder, post a symptom checklist, talk to a family member about history, or write down questions for your next appointment?

If you’ve done something that made a difference, tell us what it was and how it went.

Drop your one action below, and if you want, we’ll help you turn it into a simple message you can share.

Caregiving often means making hard choices to protect your loved one's energy and your own.

Have you ever had to say a loving "no" to visitors, advice, extra responsibilities, or pressure to "stay positive"? If you're comfortable, share what boundary you set and how you handled the feelings that came with it. Your story might give someone else permission to do the same.

What boundary are you working on right now?

Appointments can feel overwhelming, especially when there's a lot of information coming at once. What's one tip that's helped you communicate with your care team- before, during, or after a visit? It could be bringing a support person, keeping a notes list, asking for a written summary, or recording questions ahead of time.

If you're newly diagnosed, feel free to share what you're unsure how to ask.

Let's build a simple list of strategies that makes appointments a little easier.

Hard days happen physically, emotionally, or both. What’s one thing that helps you cope when things feel heavy? It could be a routine, a prayer, meditation, a playlist, a warm shower, a short walk, journaling, or a small comfort item. If you’re not sure what helps yet, share what’s been hardest lately and we’ll offer gentle ideas.

You’re not alone here, and it’s okay to take this one day at a time.

Caregivers, quick check‑in: what’s one thing you need this week to feel a little more supported? Rest, a break, help with meals, someone to talk to, or something else?

If you feel comfortable, share one specific ask (even a small one). If you’re not sure what to ask for, share what’s been hardest lately and we’ll help you name it.

You don’t have to carry this alone.

Colon cancer awareness saves lives, but many people still don’t know the signs, the screening options, or that younger adults can be affected too.

If you could share one message with your community, friends, family, coworkers, what would it be? It can be a fact, a myth you want to correct, or a reminder to get screened. Your voice matters, and it can help someone take action sooner.

What’s your one message?
