I'm excited to be attending the Get Your Rear in Gear 5K on Sunday. I'll get a chance to meet a survivor from another board, and his wife. My husband and I are walking (neither of us has ever been a runner). I also get to meet David - another survivor who is friends of an old highschool classmate of mine. He started a foundation to help pay for colon screenings after he finished his treatments for colon cancer. And this year he is one of the models on the Colondar. I'd heard David's story before, and then my classmate hooked us up via FaceBook after she found out about my colon cancer.

They have a survivor's dinner tonight, but we have my son's concert to attend. After several days of 40's and rain here, we are supposed to be upper 60's or 70 with sun on Sunday.

They'll be taking a survivor's photo, and then we'll walk. I want to do all I can to spread the word about colon health and screening.

Anyone else here attending this event?
