awareness events: Super Colon & Undy 5000

Colon cancer awareness events are increasingly commonplace in US cities. The inflatable 20-foot Super Colon, sponsored by the Prevent Cancer Foundation, is one huge vehicle for stimulating interest in matters of that organ. As shown in the top video, which includes interviews with MD Anderson's Roxanne McCormac and Dr. Rene Mueller, Super Colon encourages walking tours through it where polyps, cancerous masses, and other conditions can be inspected up close. Organizations may also now purchase inflatable colons from the Colon Cancer Alliance. The Undy 5000, shown in the bottom clip, is another attention-grabbing event that has been sponsored in many cities over recent years by the Colon Cancer Alliance.
