Hi Friends,
March madness has arrived! In addition to some great basketball in the Commonwealth, we turn focus to colon cancer awareness month.
We will be participating in many outreach events during the month of March with multiple partners to get Kentuckians connected with at-home colon screening kits and also navigating those who are uninsured to colonoscopy through our partnership with the Kentucky Colon Cancer Screening and Prevention Program.
Just a reminder that average risk folks should begin colon cancer screening at age 45 - make sure you're talking to your provider if you are experiencing symptoms or have significant family history of colon cancer to begin screening earlier.
Be sure and check out information regarding the upcoming Quarterhorse Marathon Relay event that will take place on March 30 at the Whitehall State Park in Richmond. It is a great event that benefits Kentucky CancerLink - we are thankful to Bob Baney with RaceRise for the support!
Thank you for taking the time to read through our newsletter and please reach out with any questions about our mission!
Let's continue to work together to be a link to hope and make an impact in Kentucky!
Cheers,
Melissa
