Women in Blue campaign puts spotlight on Colorectal Cancer Awareness month
The Cancer Wellness Foundation in Montgomery kicked off a special campaign Thursday evening to raise money to help patients battling colon cancer. Twenty women, including Action 8 Anchor Estee Morrison, were introduced as this year’s Women in Blue at the event at the Biscuits Stadium. During the month of March, these women will help raise money and awareness about colon cancer. March is Colorectal Cancer Awareness month. It is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women and men. The Cancer Wellness Foundation helps transport people to and from radiation and chemotherapy treatments. They also provide much needed support to patients in 32 counties in Alabama.
“No one wants to talk about colon cancer, and so (we are) starting the conversation. Colon cancer – start the conversation – because early detection is so important and colon cancer detected early is so curable. So, that’s kind of how this campaign came about. It has grown every year and we have raised so much money. We’re so thankful for our Women in Blue,” said Cancer Wellness Foundation Executive Director Carol Gunter.
