Dear Friends,
We had a busy month of May supporting cancer patients and their loved ones.
From discussing cancer with two-time Super Bowl-winning NFL coach Tom Coughlin on our radio show, to hitting the road for the Amgen Tour of California, and journeying to the Navajo Nation, we were all over the country spreading the word about how to best support those affected by cancer.
Our work doesn't stop there - stay tuned on June 3 for a special announcement about an exciting new initiative of ours that you can participate in.
In Appreciation,
The Cancer Support Community Team
(P.S. You may have seen an announcement from the American Cancer Society today regarding guidelines for colorectal cancer screenings. We encourage you to take a look if you haven't already done so).

On the Road at the Amgen Tour of California
From May 13 to 19, we followed the Amgen Tour of California - a 645-mile bicycle race throughout the state that is not for the faint of heart.
The Tour has raised millions of dollars to help organizations like ours—and we are grateful to Amgen and other sponsors for making us part of this experience.
