Cancer Summit 2009
Today I had the honor of representing St. Paul at the Cancer Summit 2009, hosted by the Minnesota Cancer Alliance and sponsored by the American Cancer Society. A highlight of the conference was a speech by Ruth Edstrom, a 10-year stage 4 colon cancer survivor. Her story was moving and inspiring, especially in light of my stepdad’s own stage 4 colon cancer diagnosis.
I also attended two sessions focused on increasing colon cancer screening rates and improving public awareness and education. I can’t wait to apply what I’ve learned to my upcoming colon cancer prevention activities!

Welcome to my blog! It is an honor to represent St. Paul as I promote my platform of colon cancer prevention and compete for the title of Mrs. Minnesota International 2010. 
Your energy and enthusiasm and amazing! Thank you for joining us at the Minnesota Cancer Alliance Summit and supporting the efforts of the American Cancer Society and the Minnesota Colon Cancer Coalition.
Colon cancer is BEATABLE and TREATABLE, but most of all, we want people to know it is PREVENTABLE! Your efforts to get the word out will help us save lives.
Thank You!
