Katie’s husband Jay Monahan died of colon cancer 1998 at the age of 42; as a result, Couric became a spokeswoman for colon cancer awareness.
She underwent a colonoscopy on-air in March 2000, and, according to a study published in 2003 in Archives of Internal Medicine, could have inspired many others to get checked as well.
On October 7, 2005, as part of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Couric broadcast her own mammogram on the Today show, in the hopes of recreating the “Couric Effect” around the issue of breast cancer. As the Guest of Honor for the inaugural American Cancer Society Discovery Ball, Couric was recognized for her leadership in increasing cancer awareness and screening.
