Keep Your Colon Rollin’!
The 5th Annual Keep Your Colon Rollin’ 5K Walk/Run at Jefferson Patterson Park, on March, 27, 2010 was amazing! The weather was bright and sunny and 204 people participated in the walk/run. Rockin’ Roger’s DJ service provided music for the event and pictures from last year’s race were displayed on the big screen while runners warmed up and mingled. Luis Navarro and Caitlyn Brogcinksi were the overall male and female finishers with times of 18:21 and 21:50 respectively.
Mike Shaw with Calvert Healthcare Solutions was grateful for all the attendees and their support for providing access to primary healthcare for uninsured residents of Calvert County. Four time cancer survivor, Patricia Eddleman, gave a motivational speech about getting proper screenings for all cancers at the appropriate age or if symptoms occur. Only you know your body best!

Proceeds benefit Calvert Healthcare Solutions, a nonprofit organization aimed at helping people without insurance receive healthcare.

Colorectal Cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in Calvert County and Maryland. Ask your doctor about receiving a colonoscopy at age 50, or sooner if you have a family or personal history. There are usually NO SYMPTOMS!
