Colon Cancer Awareness
Me and my partner have ventured into a project together. We create designs to commemorate and/or support loved ones who are struggling with varying illnesses, including cancers. They are designs for a cause and the picture of the loved one can be placed into the design and sold in 5x7 and 8x10 frames where proceeds will go to benefit those various causes, including various cancers. So we were especially sensitive to having watched this particular film.
Over the weekend me and my partner watched "A Little Bit of Heaven." Tick for Trailer. I found it appropriate to mention it in this blog about Colon Cancer. The main character, played by Kate Hudson, avoids getting serious about any relationship through her humour and then even when something really serious comes over her, like colon cancer, she still hides behind jokes and laughs to embrace the reality of the new direction her life has taken. A definite must watch drama filled with its comic moments, that will leave you feeling the need to live a little more, to re-examine your life and your health, to find your little bit of heaven and enjoy it just a little bit longer. A clever awareness tactic was this billboard below found in Minnesota.
Plymouth, Minnesota
This billboard is found on motorway 169 in Plymouth, Minnesota, and it's an eye opener. It seems this look is not limited to plumbers alone. But we all remember either saying, or at least thinking, "Cover your butt!" Well this is Minnesota Department of Health's clever way of bringing some tough love awareness to its people. The video below is brought about by USA Today and covers thoughts of some people who work right across from where the billboard is located, and employees from the Minnesota Department of Health. It also features a second billboard advertisement. The MDH feels adding some humour to a serious medical issue they feel that people won't feel so serious about getting a colonoscopy procedure done, and hopefully relieve some butt clenching pressure surrounding the procedure. And remember, crack kills, so get your butt covered!
