We must keep stepping up to the plate. We need Congress to pass the appropriations bills that include a multi-billion dollars in cancer research funding over the next five years. And most importantly, we need to get out the word about colorectal cancer. That's our goal here today. Because knowledge is our best weapon.
Prevention is our best strategy.
And the best prevention is to eat smart. Know your family history. And get a regular screening after age 50. Roundtables are like great baseball teams. The head of the National Colorectal Cancer Roundtable has that kind of extraordinary leader of vision and courage.
