‼️It’s important to talk with your immediate family members (parents, children, siblings) about your colonoscopy results, even if NO cancer was found‼️

If you had any polyps discovered — especially if they were pre-cancerous, large, or if many were found — tell your relatives so they know when they need to get screened!

Awareness can save the lives of the people you love💙

“Any cancer diagnosis, whether it be a friend, colleague, family member, or even yourself, is devastating, scary, and life-changing.”

Meet Cassidy, a wonderful advocate and longtime Team Captain of “Runnin’4Rosey” participating in Get Your Rear in Gear - Fort Worth since 2018!

“Eight years ago,” shares Cassidy, “my uncle was diagnosed with colorectal cancer at age 44. Without proper screening/treatment, we could have lost my uncle to a 90% preventable disease. Fortunately, he completed chemotherapy, and we are so thankful that he has been cancer-free for the last 7 years!!!”

“The reason why 2026 is different than any other year in the past is that [in January], we lost our close family friend, Rosey, who also suffered from colon cancer. She was first diagnosed at age 49 in 2023. Seeing both family and close friends receive these diagnoses at such young ages, it is pushing me to do more.”

“I am asking my hospital, Texas Health Southwest, what more we can do to spread awareness. I am currently working with the manager of my unit so that we can go !”

Meet Becky Pruitt, a cancer survivor and the Local Event Director for Get Your Rear in Gear - Fort Worth.

“I want to make sure other survivors know they aren’t alone, and help people get treated early,” shares Becky. “Colorectal cancer is extremely treatable if caught early.”

“It can be terrifying to talk to a doctor about symptoms and go through testing. So many people have a tendency to put screening off. However, it’s completely worth it if you can be easily diagnosed and treated . . . early detection and treatment is crucial.”

Join Becky and the colon cancer community in Fort Worth on Saturday, March 7th, at Trinity Park as we come together to spread colon cancer awareness, support our patients/survivors, remember those that we’ve lost, and raise funds to screen the local community
