I’m dressed in blue for National Dress In Blue Day, promoting colon cancer awareness.

Happy #DressInBlueDay!

I wear blue today for my sweet husband, Wes, a survivor diagnosed in 2019 at age 41.

It’s not hyperbole: colon cancer screenings save lives. Most insurances will cover them starting at age 45.

Know the signs, but also, get screened as soon as you are able to, regardless. 💙

Today is Dress in Blue Day!

Dress in Blue Day lets allies everywhere join our mission to end colorectal cancer. By wearing blue, you bring awareness to this disease, support our work, and honor all impacted by colorectal cancer.

Wear your best blue and tag us so we can share 📸💙 #DressInBlueDay
