JOIN THE UROLOGY CENTER OF COLORADO FOUNDATION FOR THE BLUE SHOE RUN FOR PROSTATE CANCER
WHAT: Run for your father, your husband, your brother, your friend. Run for you! Join The Urology Center of Colorado (TUCC) Foundation for the 3rd annual Blue Shoe Run for Prostate Cancer, a 5K run/walk, 1.5-mile family walk and kids fun run on Saturday, Sept. 8, 2012. All monies raised from The Blue Shoe Run benefit TUCC Foundation’s efforts to improve local prostate cancer screening, community education and research programs. More than $230,000 has been raised since 2010.
Be sure to stick around following each event for one of the best FREE post-race parties in Denver featuring an Alaskan Brewery beer garden, food and drinks, live music, prostate cancer survivor recognition with 7News Anchor Mike Landess, silent auction, massages, prizes and awards, educational booths and kids activities – including face painting and a giant inflatable slide!
A free prostate cancer screening will also take place inside TUCC the morning of Sept. 8. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Colorado today, but it’s very treatable when diagnosed at an early stage. African-American men and men with a positive family history should begin annual prostate cancer screenings at age 35. All men should have a baseline screening for prostate cancer at age 40.
