FIVE WAYS
TO TAKE ACTION
1. HAVE A CONVERSATION
It’s simple: Just ask your family members 45 or older if they have gotten screened yet. If not, try to get them to do it for your sake. Even a little nudge can help. Plus, make sure you know your family history of colon cancer. Sometimes, it might surprise you.

3. DONATE
You can help provide low- or no-cost colon cancer screening and provide financial support for transport and lodging during treatment.
