March is Healthy Colon Month
March 21st, 2012
March is National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 140,000 new cases of colon cancer are diagnosed in the United States each year. See the CDC website to find out how you can reduce your own risk.
Routine screening is the key for early diagnosis and treatment. Ask your doctor whether it is time for you to be tested.
Friday Photo: Butterball 2011 Fundraiser
December 9th, 2011
I took this photo at the bi-annual Butterball Party that was chaired by our friend, Minnesota adventurer, explorer and author Dan Buettner. Rudy and Ana were our hosts for the fun evening and they served on Dan’s committee for the gala.
This year the fundraiser is slated to surpass the $100,000 raised in 2009. All the proceeds from The Butterball Party 2011 support the wonderful work of Open Arms. Open Arms is the only nonprofit organization in Minnesota that cooks and delivers free, delicious and nutritious meals to individuals living with serious and life-threatening illness, as well as their caregivers and dependent children.
