Hello, Susie’s Cause is very excited to announce that we have begun the preliminary steps enhancing our industry leading website! We have grown, reached more people and will reach many, many more providing our followers with improved navigation tools and more information. Please help Susie's Cause improve our website by taking our short survey. Your answers will help us continue our mission of raising awareness about colon cancer screening, providing information and support for those in need and serving as the National voice of colon cancer. We are pleased to have Johns Hopkins Carey Business School graduate student, Amy Getz-Steever, who lost her mother to colon cancer, help us with this effort. Thank you for your time and thank you Amy! Please find the link to the survey below. http://jhubusiness.qualtrics.com/SE?SID=SV_b8AgMYxJRabXf92 Thank you to everyone who helped us in our social media efforts to raise awareness and screening in April and May. Since launching our Facebook Causes page in April for National Screening Month, your invitations have grown our cause members to 233 as of June 1st! This shows phenomenal support ON YOUR PART, and surpasses our 100 member goal we set in April!

CONNECTIONS BETWEEN DIABETES AND COLORECTAL CANCER
Over 20 million people in the United States have type 2 diabetes, and that figure doesn’t even count the 6 million who have diabetes and don’t know it yet. Type 2 diabetes has been called the most challenging health problem of the 21st century. The dangerously high prevalence of overweight and obesity is at the heart of this problem. Diabetes is the 7th leading cause of death in the United States, is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure in adults, and doubles the risk of heart attack and stroke.[1] Diabetes also increases the risk of several cancers, including colorectal cancer. In my medical practice, we have documented with consecutive case histories that superior nutrition and exercise can reverse diabetes in 90% of patients, and this aggressive nutritional approach is more effective and much safer than conventional drug-centered care. The best diet for preventing or reversing diabetes is also the best diet for cancer protection. Read Dr. Fuhrman's full article. Dr. Fuhrman is a best-selling author and board certified family physician specializing in lifestyle and one of the country's leading nutritional medicine experts.

The Colon Cancer Foundation was founded in 2004, and received
501(c) (3) status on January 19, 2005. The President of the
Foundation, David Rodman Cohan, an international business
attorney, vigorously launched this Foundation after the tragic
loss of his daughter Susan Cohan to colon cancer. Susan is
survived by her two young children. The Susan Cohan Colon Cancer Foundation will work to eliminate colon cancer as a life threatening disease through the development and dissemination of educational programs focused on prevention, early screening and detection, and aggressive therapeutic intervention.
