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