Dress In Blue day Friday, March 4th, 2011

Hello, all! Just wanted to post a quick note for everyone to remember that ""Dress In Blue" day is coming up. "What is that" you say?? Just the most important, least known days of the year! (Other than "Talk Like A Pirate" Day, but I'm working on that.) "Dress In Blue" day is about raising awareness about Colorectal Cancer, and the importance of getting screened. Colorectal Cancer is a major cause of death in the US alone, with over 50,000 expected to die this year. (More that Breast Cancer and AIDS combined.) Yet this cancer has a 90% survival rate if caught early. I should know. I'm a three year survivor, and early detection, with the grace of God, is the reason I'm still around. Take a look at this recent article from Dr. Oz, and get screened early. Spread the word, spread the cheeks, and Dress In Blue on Friday, March 4th, 2011!
