Thousands of blue flags for colorectal cancer awareness
A sea of blue flags occupies the National Mall near the Capitol, part of a multi-day effort by Fight Colorectal Cancer to lobby Congress to allocate more funding to research into the disease, in Washington, on March 12, 2025. The 27,400 blue flags represent the expected number of people under 50 who will be diagnosed with colorectal cancer in 2030. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
