![]() This is an AMAZING time to focus on your health AND your love for your family. Best way to do that you ask??? No, it's not eat more pumpkin pie (although that is a favorite), it is to make sure you are up to date on your COLONOSCOPY (45 or old - that's YOU). Wind River is so thankful to share that we are again a 2023 recipient of a grant to support colon survivors from the Colon Cancer Coalition, and the GET YOUR REAR IN GEAR Charlotte race. We use funds to support survivors and their families with wellness support, respites at Wind River, healthy eating coaching with Cheryl, meet-ups with the Charlotte Young Colon Survivor Group, and much more. Of course we welcome EVERYONE to also come out and join our merry team. This year the run/walk in Charlotte will by on Saturday March 25, 2023.
