I wish I had the time to go out and see this at Jefferson Mall this weekend. Who knows? Maybe I will go out just so I can supply you all with pictures.
'Super Colon' to be at Jefferson Mall
The Courier-Journal • August 28, 2008
The “Super Colon,” an inflatable replica that is 8 feet tall and 20 feet long, will be on display in Jefferson Mall this weekend to illustrate the dangers of colorectal cancer.
“This disease is 90 percent preventable but most people are unaware of its impact,” said Councilwoman Madonna Flood, who represents the area.
Attendees can walk through the inflatable to look at healthy colon tissues, tissues with non-malignant colorectal diseases and various stages of colorectal cancer.
The exhibit, which is sponsored by the Colon Cancer Prevention Project, stresses early detection and treatment options in Kentucky, which has the highest cancer death rate in the country.
It will be on display near Sears at the mall, 4801 Outer Loop, from 10 a.m. until 9 p.m. Saturday; noon until 6 p.m. Sunday; and normal shopping hours on Labor Day.
Door prizes also will be available.
For more information, call Betty Mueller or Dr. Whitney Jones at 290-0288. To learn more about the project, visit www.coloncancerpreventionproject.org.
