Colonoscopies are one of the most effective tools for detecting colon cancer at its earliest, most treatable stage. Starting at age 50, men and women are encouraged to have a colon screening and then as recommended by your provider after that.

Agnesian HealthCare gastroenterologists, general surgeons and support staff will be sharing that message at Fond du Lac’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade at 3 p.m. on Saturday, March 13.

As with many types of cancer, early detection can increase your chances of surviving colorectal cancer. Unfortunately, many people shy away from discussing this topic, even with their provider.
St. Agnes Hospital and Waupun Memorial Hospital offer colorectal screenings. Call (920) 926-8570 (Gastroenterology), or 926-8485 or 324-6800 (General Surgery) to schedule your appointment.

The 6.2-mile Bellin Run will feature an additional wave start this year. There were seven waves of runners and walkers last year.

“It’s a proactive move,” Bellin Run executive director Randy Van Straten said. “We’re adding another runner wave to accommodate continued growth and keep congestion in the start corrals to a minimum for the safety and overall enjoyment of our participants.”

The change will separate the stroller division from walkers, race organizers say.

After six initial runner waves start the race, a seventh wave of strollers followed by an eighth wave of walkers will begin the run/walk event. “It’s all geared toward making this an increasingly pleasurable experience for all Bellin Run participants,” Van Straten said.

The 34th annual Bellin Run will take place at 8 a.m. Saturday, June 12.
