Screening for All. Colon Cancer for None.
|
| When: March 2007 |
| Where: Washington, D.C. |
What We'll Do:
We will meet at the Washington Monument grounds at 10am and march to the Capitol. The purpose is to demand that screening be made available for all adults and that a fund be set up for screening those with no health insurance. DETAILS
- Advocate training will be available by reservation only.
- Training will be held in the ProjectMARCH chat room on Yahoo.
The email sign up box below will allow you to sign up for ProjectMARCH
- We will make our voices heard.
What You Need to Know:
Screening should be available for all adults. Not just those 50 and older.
- Medical professionals are beginning to say it should be at least age 40. But no one is even attempting to stop colon cancer in anyone under 50. Leaving 13,000 people every year with no hope of avoiding this cancer.
- Just three or four more screenings and we could nearly eliminate all colon cancer.
- But if it is to happen, you must speak up.
- If you don't, who will speak up for you?
