LEAD FROM BEHIND — founded by Brooks Bell, powered by the Colorectal Cancer Alliance, and created in partnership with Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort & Chrysi Philalithes — 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.
Now this is something we can get behind... Literally.

If you’re 45 or over, your behind just got more powerful.

1 in 24 people get colon cancer. It’s the second deadliest cancer in America and it doesn’t have to be - because colon cancer is The Preventable Cancer.

#TheyDidntSay sheds light on aspects of colorectal cancer that too often go unnoticed, because the reality is, Black Americans, who are at higher risk of being diagnosed with CRC and who experience poorer outcomes, need to get screened earlier and receive better care to reduce the disparity.
From the individuals who are diagnosed, to the loved ones supporting them, we’re bringing awareness to all the things left out of the cultural conversation.

Most people don't know that colorectal cancer is the second deadliest cancer in the United States or that it's highly preventable — and that’s why we’re turning up the volume on this disease.
It’s time to stop the silence, reject the stigma, and cancel the killer. Every step brings us closer to ending this disease. It’s time to #WalkLoud!
Your participation means more prevention programs for those at risk, more expert support for patients, and more funding for innovative research.
Register, fundraise, start a team, join a team or walk as an individual – because tomorrow can’t wait!
Special thanks to our National Walk sponsors Taiho Oncology, Geneoscopy, and Merck.
