2010 Get Your Rear in Gear Committee
Kicking off the 2010 Get Your Rear in Gear Committee with Colon Cancer Coalition President Kristin Tabor
Last week I attended the Colon Cancer Coalition’s kick-off meeting for the 2010 Get Your Rear in Gear Committee. The Get Your Rear in Gear 5K races raise awareness about colon cancer prevention in communities across the country. At the meeting I had the opportunity to meet colon cancer survivors and their families, advocates, and volunteers who are all devoted to making this year’s events the best yet!
I am so honored to be a part of the Colon Cancer Coalition’s incredible work. The energy and enthusiasm of President Kristin Tabor and her dedicated staff are an inspiration to me as I work to share my family’s story and encourage others to get screened. The first Get Your Rear in Gear event was held in the Twin Cities in 2005, and attracted 1,200 participants. Last year, there were over 20 races nationwide and 4,200 participants in the Twin Cities alone!
Get Your Rear in Gear events are a wonderful way to encourage others to help prevent colon cancer by living a healthy lifestyle and getting screened. This year’s Twin Cities event will be May 16, 2010 at the Southdale Center in Edina. I will be there for sure, and I hope you will be, too!
