Get Your Rear In Gear OC 5K Walk/Run

Register for the Orange County Get Your Rear in Gear® 5K Run/Walk to help raise funds for colon cancer awareness efforts in the Orange County area. Monies raised will stay in our community, helping with prevention, early detection and treatment, and healthy living projects for this disease. The event includes refreshments, tech shirts and marathon quality medals for age group winners.  Get Your Rear in Gear provides a special opportunity to honor survivors and those lost to colon cancer in our community.  My best friend lost her battle about a year ago to this disease at the age of 53.  If she had only been screened as recommended at the age of 50, should would probably still be here today.  Join us in this all important effort to raise awareness for Colon Cancer.  Go to http://events.getyourrearingear.com/site/TR?fr_id=1150&pg=entry to register or donate.
