March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month and your “marching orders” are to come and join us for the third annual March to Get Screened 5K, to help raise awareness about the importance of getting screened for colon cancer.
The March to Get Screened 5K will be on Sunday, March 4, 2012. The race starts at 1 p.m. at Fionn MacCool’s in Jacksonville Beach. Registration begins at 12 noon. The race is on the beach. It begins and ends at Fionn MacCool’s and loops around at North Street in Neptune Beach. The race is free for all participants but donations to the BGC Foundation for Research and Education are greatly appreciated.
The funds raised last year resulted in 27 free colonoscopies at a cost of $72,358, which was funded by the BGC Foundation for Research and Education. Those colonoscopies, performed by Borland-Groover Clinic, resulted in the location, identification and removal of several precancerous polyps from the patients screened.
Other sponsors for the event include Fionn MacCool’s, Beson4 Media Group, Earth Systems, Olympus and OneSource.
Mark your calendars for the March to Get Screened, March 4 at 1 p.m. Come out for a great cause.
