ON A MISSION TO MAKE COLON CANCER FAMOUS
LEAD FROM BEHIND IS POWERED BY THE COLORECTAL CANCER ALLIANCE
Founded in 1999 by a group of 41 survivors, caregivers, and friends, the Alliance exists to end colorectal cancer in our lifetime by:
- Providing personalized support (we’ve served 2 million patients and caregivers already).
- Promoting screening and prevention.
- Funding critical research.
- Building a community of volunteers and allies (we’re 11,000 strong).
- Helping people with financial assistance (more than 4,100 grants awarded).
