PA Proclamation on National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, 2022 (The White House)

Cancer is personal to nearly every family, including my own.  Each year, more than 50,000 families across the country lose a loved one to colorectal cancer — the fourth most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in America.  The toll it exacts is immeasurable, but when we detect colorectal cancer early, we can save lives and deliver hope.  During National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we raise awareness of this dreaded disease and renew our commitment to ending cancer as we know it.
