The Story of Colon Club

One of the first organizations to recognize the importance of early age onset colorectal cancer, seeking to raise awareness in crazy, out-of-the-box ways, became a program of Fight Colorectal Cancer in 2023.
The Colon Club began as a revolutionary movement against the stigma surrounding colorectal cancer. It became the voice for early-onset colorectal cancer and a beacon of hope for those diagnosed under 50. In merging with Fight CRC, The Colon Club's mission of providing support, fostering connections, and raising awareness continues to shine brightly. We're strengthening our reach, resources, and resolve to fight colorectal cancer.

Wonderful video! So happy to be a part of the Colon Club family and help inspire others during their own cancer experience as Molly has done for many years 💙

Beautifully told Molly!! The Colon Club and the Colondar saved my sanity and maybe my life. Even in 2008 when I was diagnosed, I was told much the same, that there were few to none diagnosed in my age group. It's been an honor to be a small part of the mission of awareness, and I'm so proud of you and where this has all gone!

Sadly I don’t even know if I get to have a story….. i’ve had symptoms for a long time now and a palpable tumor that three doctors felt but did not diagnose me up here in the greater Minnesota area where there is a desert for capable doctors and gastrointestinal doctors who are willing to actually do their job. secondly I had medicaid and Medicare but in an advantage plan and I was just told that I was 65 and my BMI was the cause of my symptoms and I was not treated for autoimmune problems or these cancer symptoms. The insurance gave me transportation but I could not get the care. Now I am no longer on the Medicaid and I’m paying for my own insurance because I have to and it’s all right but now I don’t have transportation. I have had to cancel two colonoscopy/biopsies because of transportation issues and because I’m so far away from family and our family that cares. my family treats me like I’m a least that’s why I call myself the least of these and sometimes it doesn’t feel so bad to think that I might die so I don’t have to feel this way anymore.
