#TBT! There are so many wonderful memories of Dr. Weber. Whether he was lecturing, advocating, socializing, or just chilling, he brought a bright, positive energy that no one ever forgot.

We *think* this is Miss Long Island 2018 with our beloved Dr. Weber. Not every day you find a beauty queen at a colon cancer event! ๐Ÿ˜…

A long, long time ago, when CCF was still the Colon Cancer Challenge Foundation. Look how young Dr. Weber was! #MemoriesMonday

Guys, it's been real. Your support has meant the world to the CCF team. While we are kinda bummed to say goodbye, we're leaving you in the very capable hands of @CCAlliance. We wish you the best, and may we all live to see A World Without Colorectal Cancerโ„ข. ๐Ÿ’™

Tomorrow starts our last week being on your feed, so we want to make sure that you don't miss the tribute to Dr. Weber on CCA's website. He was truly, genuinely a remarkable human. ๐Ÿ’™ ow.ly/Qfsi50SnKah

Not us feeling bizarrely sentimental about an inflatable colon. ๐Ÿ‘€ The Rollin' Colon, along with most of our other educational resources, will go to CCA next month. We'll miss you, big guy. Keep rollin'. @CCAlliance

Hat tip to all the dads out there! We know it's supposed to be all about golf and barbecue today, but why not throw in a colonoscopy reminder, too? ๐Ÿ‘€

Our time on your feed is (sadly) winding down, as we'll officially hand over the reins to CCA within a month or so, but we want to be a source of helpful information for as long as possible. As always, comment here or email info@coloncancerfoundation.org.

FACT: slow-growing cancer is still cancer. It can still kill you, just not as fast. Don't skip your screenings - no matter how much of a drag they are.
