My Gut Instinct Inc., in partnership with Classic Harley-Davidson, will host the 5th annual Undy 500, a community-driven event dedicated to raising awareness about colorectal cancer prevention and early detection.<\/p>\n
Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths among men and women in the United States, impacting approximately 150,000 people each year. Alarmingly, rates are rising among younger adults ages 20-49, with nearly three out of four individuals under 50 diagnosed at an advanced stage. Although colorectal cancer is 90% beatable when detected early, one in three Americans is not screened when recommended.<\/p>\n
The Undy 500 aims to change that.<\/p>\n
The Undy 500 will take place on Saturday, May 2, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Classic Harley-Davidson, located at 983 James Drive, Leesport.<\/p>\n
This free, family-friendly event will bring the community together for an afternoon of education, entertainment, and action. Special guests include Fox Chase Cancer Center, which will offer education on cancer treatment; Berks Community Health Center, offering free at-home stool testing kits, health education and on-site vitals screenings; Rob Grim Foundation, honoring Coach Grim, who died of this disease and collecting used sports gear for underprivileged youth; and Keltic Ink, offering piercing services.<\/p>\n
The event includes cancer prevention education and free health screenings, complimentary giveaways including at-home stool test kits, free coffee courtesy of Wawa\u2019s, food and drinks from El Flores Authentic Tacos and Pagoda City Brewing, and live music by Barefoot Jimmy, a Jimmy Buffett tribute band.<\/p>\n
Participants are encouraged to bring any set of wheels \u2014 or just their feet \u2014 to ride or walk the Undy 500-meter obstacle course, which begins with a ride through a 50-foot inflatable colon, symbolizing the importance of early screening and awareness. All participants will receive a free pair of Undy 500 underwear (while supplies last).<\/p>\n
