National nonprofit Colorectal Cancer Alliance (Alliance) and video game retailer Chrono.gg have partnered this week in memory of game commentator and critic John Peter Bain, who was commonly known as TotalBiscuit. Bain died from colorectal cancer in May at age 33.

After losing their sister Meredith to colorectal cancer, Kathryn and Abigail are turning grief into advocacy. Their powerful story highlights the urgent need for CRC awareness and action — especially among young adults who are facing rising rates of this disease.
