An incredible tribute to my former staff member Asal Sayas. Even in the face of a cancer diagnosis, she worked tirelessly for more federal research dollars and earlier diagnoses to combat the rise of this disease. She made a real difference and never stopped fighting for others. washingtonpost.com/obituarie…

We are blown away by the incredible show of support for Dress in Blue Day! Thank you to everyone who wore blue, shared your photos, and tagged the Alliance. The day isn't over yet! Keep tagging us 📸 Wearing blue helps spark conversations, raise awareness, and bring us one step closer to ending colorectal cancer in our lifetime. Colorectal cancer is the deadliest cancer in people under 50, yet it remains underfunded and under discussed while rates continue to rise. We've had Enough. Take a look at some of these great photos today. We stand together to say #EnoughCRC. #DressInBlueDay

The Colorectal Cancer Alliance is proud to have worked with U.S. Representatives @RepHaleyStevens (D-MI) and @RepTimBurchett (R-TN) in introducing the Colorectal Cancer Early Detection Act, bipartisan legislation to expand awareness, screening, and early detection of colorectal cancer among individuals under 45.

Congress is planning votes TODAY on a Continuing Resolution (CR) that proposes dramatic cuts to critical cancer research. The bill slashes research funding by 57% for the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program (CDMRP) at the Department of Defense. That is an $859 million loss in high-impact cancer research that saves lives. Please call your House Representative and urge them to vote protect the CDMRP. Find contact information for your Representative here: congress.gov/members
