Wear Blue to Raise Awareness about Colon Cancer
Salisbury, MD – The Wicomico County Health Department is encouraging residents to observe National Dress In Blue Day on Friday, March 2nd as part of National Colon Cancer Awareness Month.

Colon cancer is the second leading cause of cancer related deaths in the country. “Everyone age 50 or older should talk with their doctor about being screened,” said Lori Brewster, Health Officer for Wicomico County.

I just had mine done on March 1.When I turned forty 33 yrs ago I started to check my eyes and had to get eye glasses. I then started to go and get a lot more checj ups in my body including my colon. Now I highly recommend anyona male or female to begin to talk to their DOC about starting these check ups.
This is just another libtard load of obamabot bunk. Why else would they pick the color blue (blue state = liberal = gay marraige.)
I am wearing red and praying my country comes back.
Please! Why does everything have to be political? We wear red to support heart health, pink for breast cancer awareness, purple for autism awareness and I could go on and on. I am proudly wearing blue today and if people ask me why I tell them it is to support colorectal cancer awareness, the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the U.S. Maybe some lives can be saved....or is that too political for you?
I asked my co-workers to join me in wearing blue today to honor my brother's memory (he died of colon cancer) and nearly 100% did and I got many positive feedbacks. Glad I work at First Shore Federal. ........gina
