Colorectal Cancer Alliance

Project Cure CRC is the Colorectal Cancer Alliance’s bold national initiative to accelerate the research that will end colorectal cancer. By funding groundbreaking studies, fostering collaboration among leading scientists, and connecting discoveries to patient impact, the Alliance is creating a clear path toward a future without this disease.

Every contribution — whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word — helps advance lifesaving science and gives hope to the millions of families affected by colorectal cancer. Together, as a nation of allies, we can make colorectal cancer a curable disease.

These graphics share key takeaways from the Alliance’s State of Screening Study. They show why some people put off colorectal cancer screening: cost, fear, and not knowing their options. The findings highlight important gaps in awareness, like the fact that screening can often be done at home and that colorectal cancer is preventable. At the same time, the data offers hope: most people are willing to talk about screening and see encouraging loved ones to get screened as an act of love.

The message is simple — better information and open conversations can help save lives.

LEAD FROM BEHIND — founded by Brooks Bell, powered by the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, and created in partnership with Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort — is an initiative on a mission to make colon cancer famous.

The purpose is to help people learn that colon cancer is The Preventable Cancer. It’s the second deadliest cancer in America and rising among young people. And it doesn’t have to be, because it's preventable. Learn more and let your behind be the leader it was born to be at LeadFromBehind.org.

We need to get louder! 

Most people don’t know colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the United States — or that it’s highly preventable. That’s why we #WalkLoud. We’re raising awareness, honoring patients, and pushing toward a future free of this disease.

Your participation fuels prevention programs for those at risk, expert navigation for patients and caregivers, and groundbreaking research to save lives.

Special thanks to our National Walk sponsors Taiho Oncology, and Merck.

Biomarker testing can improve cancer treatment outcomes, but many Americans do not have equal access, even through insurance. Join us and advocate for access. To learn how, download these instructions from the Colorectal Cancer Alliance: https://bit.ly/biomarker-advocacy-download 

Join us at The National Mall in Washington, DC in March 2027, to walk with us at DC ScopeItOut!

We’ll pound the pavement and raise awareness for colorectal cancer. Together, we can end this disease in our lifetime.

Exact date TBA. Get ready to walk with us during Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month!

Don't forget to tag us on social media and use the hashtags #DCScopeItOut #WalkLoud.

We are teaming up with celebrities, local businesses, fellow contractors, and clients to bring this one-of-a-kind experience to the DMV. We are motivated to make a tangible impact on cancer and need your support to make it possible!

Through your participation, we can get more people screened, help more patients navigate treatment so they don’t feel alone, and fund innovative research to end this disease. We’re crossing our fingers for a beautiful weekend in Bethesda, Maryland, October 11-12, 2026, and looking forward to an unforgettable experience of connecting with friends old and new. All for the benefit of a critical mission. We hope you’ll join us!
