Could you talk a little bit about your interest and your passion in encouraging people to get screened for cancer. I know your wife is a cancer survivor. Talk a little bit about that if you would. It's a campaign, UM that has to do with uh, screening for colon cancer, which is something UM, you know, I've had too many negative experiences with with cancer. I mean, one experiences is bad, but you know, my mom died of cancer. My wife, you know, is just at the five year point recovering from breast cancer. And I thought it was important too to make people aware of how important was to to get screened for colon cancer. So I've been doing this campaign called the New fifty Campaign. UM, basically telling people that UH fifties a little bit different now than it than it used to be. And if you go to a New fifty dot com you can read all about it. But there's a product called colon Guard, which is a uh which you use to screen for colon cancer. And it's it's unequal standing as a screening uh as for screening for colon cancer as colonoscopy. So if you're over fifty I just turned fifty. If you're over fifty and your average risk, you can ask your doctor to prescribe colon Guard for you and then you don't have to go through that big nuisance of getting colonoscopy. Um that's just for the screening part. Obviously, if there's a positive diagnosis, you have to have a colonoscopy. But it's it's pretty it's a game changer, and I'm just trying to get as many people as I can to get screen because it's important. It's very important. Okay, where can they go to find out more the New fifty They can go to New fifty dot com any w and then the number five, Oh I should I should tell you to the lotta before I go. There's a hashtag um called screen with Me. It's a challenge that Jill and I are trying to get everybody we know that over fifty to take this challenge. It's about getting screen for colon cancer. And every pledge, and this is important, Exact Sciences are going to donate a dollar to cancer research and advocacy. So if you go to hashtag screen with me, you can you can uh get all your friends to get signed up if they're if they're over fifty, to get get screened because there's too many people that are not getting screened. And you know, one people who is going to be diagnosed with this, and thirty five million people are not getting screened because of probably the same reason I didn't want to get a colonoscopy, which is I was freaked out by it. So I just wanted to make sure I said that before I left. You. Okay, hashtag screen with me, Yeah, hashtag screen with me. Okay, And a dollar goes to cancer research for each person signed up. It's really really important, you know, let's get this thing eradicated. Man, enough already enough already, Harry, thank you for spending time with us. God bless you. That's just talking to you. Give my love to your beautiful family. Thanks Delilah,
