This is Personal :60

Golden Globe® and Academy Award® nominated actor and musician Terrence Howard has joined CDC's Screen for Life: National Colorectal Cancer Action Campaign! Mr. Howard talks about his mother, her influence on him, and how her death from colon cancer affected his whole family. He says, "This is personal but there is something you can do to prevent this disease." He urges men and women aged 50 and older to be screened for colorectal cancer.

The public service announcements featuring Mr. Howard were created by CDC's Screen for Life: National Colorectal Cancer Action Campaign in partnership with the National Colorectal Cancer Research Alliance, a program of the Entertainment Industry Foundation.
