On the 13th,
we make metastatic cancer visible.
Every month, the 13th becomes a day to recognize the metastatic community — connected to the cancer awareness focus of that month and centered on the people living with advanced disease.
JOIN THE 13TH
The ribbon is only the beginning.
Cancer awareness months create important conversations. Say YES to Hope uses the 13th of each month to make sure people living with metastatic cancer are part of them.
We talk about the realities of advanced cancer — and just as importantly, the possibilities: multidisciplinary care, biomarkers, new treatments, clinical trials, second opinions, navigation, connection and hope.
Awareness that follows the calendar.
Each month, we spotlight metastatic disease within the cancers being recognized that month. The focus changes. Our commitment to people living with Stage IV cancer does not.
Recognize
Center the voices, experiences and needs of people living with metastatic cancer.
Educate
Share practical information about treatment possibilities, testing, trials and multidisciplinary care.
Connect
Point patients and families toward RoadMaps, peer support, navigation and people who can help.
Cancer awareness designations can overlap and vary by organization; monthly campaign spotlights can be updated as the annual awareness calendar is finalized.
National Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Awareness Day
March 13 has a special place in this movement. Say YES to Hope created National Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Awareness Day to bring specific attention to people living with metastatic colorectal cancer.
More options. More time. More hope.
EXPLORE METASTATIC CRC RESOURCESWe turn awareness into action.
One date can travel a long way.
For National Metastatic Colorectal Cancer Awareness Day, partners and communities have helped carry the message far beyond a single event.
We aren't asking people to simply be aware of metastatic cancer.
We're asking them to see the people living with it.
Give metastatic cancer a voice in your community.
Patients, families, cancer centers, advocacy organizations, community groups and partners can participate. Share a story. Host a conversation. Bring resources into your community. Help someone discover that another option may still exist.
The 13th is a day.
Hope is an everyday commitment.
Wherever someone is in their metastatic cancer journey, Say YES to Hope is here to help them find information, connection and a path forward.
