Large Turnout Benefits Fifth Annual 5K Run & Family Walk
As the starter's horn blared, hundreds of family, friends, supporters and sponsors took off running and walking to raise awareness for the Susan Cohan Colon Cancer Foundation's mission to dramatically reduce the death rate from colon cancer. Runners and walkers from 2 to 82 joined together on a delightful trip through historic Towson neighborhoods admiring the interesting architecture and gaining inspiration along the way. The beauty of the Susie's Cause Race on October 4th weekend was truly a refection of Susie's inner and outer beauty.  The great determination of our supporters represents Susie's uncompromising strength in her battle against colon cancer.

Capacity Turnout Drives Successful Tournament
As the sun set on our Annual Pro Celebrity Golf Tournament it was clearly evident that Susan was with all of us.  It was a day that was truly too beautiful for words. Everyone in attendance knew that they were part of something very special. We want to thank Kendal Ehrlich, the former First Lady of Maryland and our Honorary Chairperson for her gracious support.  Everyone appreciated her participation and enjoyed her warmth and passion for our mission.

Screening Is For Everyone at Any Age
Almost all of the information you will read and the commercials you will see urge everyone to be screened at 50 years of age. Perhaps, even a few years earlier if you have a history of colon cancer in your family. The fact of the matter is ,this year approximately 13,000 young men and women will be diagnosed with colon cancer. Does it matter what the statistics indicate if you, your spouse, your child, or someone you love or care about is diagnosed with colon cancer? People should talk to their doctor about starting colorectal cancer screening earlier and/or being screened more often if they have any of the colorectal cancer risk factors, like smoking, obesity, or a personal history of inflammatory bowel disease. Learn more about these and other risk factors. Be proactive and schedule a screening today!
