One Last Chance to Make a Difference...

Remember a few weeks ago, I told you about the Colorectal Cancer Coalition’s bid to win a $25,000 social media makeover?  Well, the race is close and the end is near, so they need EVERY vote they can get.  Their executive director, Carlea Bauman, was recently given the opportunity to attend and speak at a health care town hall with Vice President Joe Biden and his staff, urging the creation of a national colorectal...
