In the face of adversity, I'm committed to selflessly partnering with those who are willing to find the strength & #determination necessary to make a real difference in the lives of those affected by #ColorectalCancer (CRC). When we come together as a community, supporting one another with knowledge & awareness, we have the power to change the course of this disease. It remains very disheartening that CRC often goes undetected until it reaches advanced stages, leaving individuals with limited treatment options. But let us not lose #hope, for early detection holds the key to successful treatment & improved outcomes. We must also acknowledge the stark reality that CRC has disproportionately affected the Black community, particularly Black men, for far too long. This is a deep-seated injustice that cannot be ignored. However, in the midst of these challenges, we find inspiration in the stories shared by those--in this specific podcast for instance--who have experienced the impact of this preventable, beatable, & treatable disease firsthand. I am incredibly humbled & honored to be featured in this powerful podcast episode led by Dr. Millicent Ruffin & Sissy Siero. Together, we are shining a light on the bone-chilling experiences of individuals who have faced CRC head-on. By amplifying their voices, we aim to raise awareness & ignite a collective call to action. Complementing the Colorectal Cancer Equity Foundation's mission, we're grateful to partner with Corning Incorporated. Through our collaboration, we are working tirelessly to bring CRC awareness to every corner of our nation, particularly in areas burdened by unacceptable health inequities. Stay tuned for the impact we make in 2024; we're just getting started! #HealthEquityNow #ScreeningSavesLives #VitalVoices #CommunityImpact #LetsGo

Are you a workplace, organisation or group looking to raise awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month? During October we are running four FREE breast awareness webinars, which are open for anybody to join. Our webinars cover our founder Kris’ story, signs and symptoms, the importance of checking, guidance on how to check, our work at CoppaFeel! and how we can remind you to check. https://lnkd.in/eSy2rnF4

Cancer screening, cancer diagnosis, cancer treatment and cancer survival should not depend on countries, on postcodes, on maps, on streets, on cities or on any other sides or parts of Europe. The cancer care gap today is UNCONSCIONABLE when the percentage of women who never had a breast cancer screening in Romania is 71 times higher than in Finland. We have to rewrite the story of cancer: equal access, equal chance for every European.
