June Cancer Awareness Month: Colorectal Cancer and Men's Health
Posted by VAEL DESIGNS
June is home to several important cancer awareness recognitions, with Colorectal Cancer Awareness wrapping up its extended season and Men's Health Month bringing prostate and other cancers into focus. It's a month about catching things early, talking openly, and supporting the people in your life who are fighting quietly.
Colorectal Cancer Awareness
Colorectal cancer — cancer of the colon or rectum — is one of the most common and most preventable cancers in the United States. It primarily affects adults over 50, though rates among younger adults have been rising. The good news: when caught early through regular colonoscopies, it is highly treatable.
The awareness ribbon for colorectal cancer is dark blue. It's a color that carries weight — representing the millions of survivors and the families who watched someone fight. Our dark blue crystal colon cancer bracelet is crafted in sterling silver and available with a personalized engraved charm. It's a meaningful gift for anyone who has been touched by this disease.
If you or someone you love is overdue for a colonoscopy, June is a good time to make that call.
Men's Health Month: Prostate Cancer Awareness
June is also Men's Health Month, which brings prostate cancer awareness into the conversation. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men in the United States — and one of the most survivable when detected early. The light blue ribbon represents prostate cancer awareness.
Our light blue crystal prostate cancer bracelet is a thoughtful gift for the men in your life — a dad, a husband, a brother — who carry more than they say. Crafted in sterling silver and personalized with a name or date, it's a quiet way to say I'm here.
Starting the Conversation
One of the most impactful things you can do this June is simply talk. Talk to the men in your life about getting checked. Talk about colorectal screening. Talk about the cancers that don't get enough attention because they're uncomfortable to discuss.
Every bracelet we make starts that conversation. And every purchase donates $5 to the American Cancer Society. Browse our full cancer awareness jewelry collection.
