It's National Dress in Blue Day!

In case you didn't know (and I didn't until a couple weeks ago), today is National Dress in Blue Day. What is it? Well, the point is to draw attention to a very important cause. Did you know that colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths? Did you know that 150,000 Americans are diagnosed with colon cancer each year? And did you know that colon cancer often has no symptoms util it has reached advanced stages? You can reduce your risk by getting screenings beginning at age 50.

In honor of an awesome teacher, Nik decided to make National Dress in Blue Day a bit fun. Meet Uncancer Man. Uncancer Man will be spreading the word that screenings are important in the battle against colon cancer. Are you 50 years or older? Uncancer Man says to love your butt. Get screened.
