2010
Hello,
Thank you to the over 400 attendees who attended the Second
Annual Memories Gala in April. It was truly a night to remember.
Not only did everyone rave about all aspects of the event, but
we also successfully set the stage for this magnificent event to
continue for decades to come. The night was a reminder of what
is possible when the very best of intentions, support, passion,
and caring meets the highest of purposes.
Susie�s Cause National Colon Cancer Screening Month officially
wrapped up in April, but that just means it is time to take what
we learned and put it into practice. There is still time to join
our new
Facebook Cause page and make a difference. By joining the
cause and
sharing the page with friends, you can participate in
helping us educate others and generate donations across the
country for Susie�s Cause!
Thank you,
Robert A. Smith
Executive Vice President
P.S. Your support today and every day makes a
difference.

VITAMIN D MAY PROTECT AGAINST COLON CANCER
Vitamin D insufficiency is widespread, and is now thought to
contribute to a variety of disease states, including
osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, autoimmune
diseases, depression, and cancers.
Researchers analyzed data from the European Prospective
Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study, which has
over 520,000 participants. Blood levels of vitamin D, which
were measured at the start of the study, were compared between
1248 colorectal cancer patients and matched controls after
diagnosis.

A GALA TO REMEMBER
The 2nd Annual Susie's Cause
National Colon Cancer Screening Month dinner dance was simply
perfect. We take great pride that in these unparalleled economic
times over four hundred guests enjoyed the very best of
entertainment, food, friendship, and purpose. In attendance were
business and political leaders, our valued medical sponsors,
hospital administrators, respected physicians and scores of old
friends and new. Our most important guests, of course, were the
many men and women who have lost the people closest to them and
patients fighting the battle of their lives. Thank you to
everyone who attended!
