Suzanne Lindley, colon cancer survivor and C3 advocate sent me a photo of her daughter’s drill team. As you can see this group performs on horseback which is to be expected as we are talking about Texans. No ten-gallon hats this time. Instead the cowgirls proudly wear colorectal cancer bracelets on their upraised arms. Here is what Suzanne wrote about the team’s plans for this month.
The Ghostriders Equestrian Drill Team of Canton, Texas is “drilling in” during March which is Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month. They want to let people know this disease is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States even though it is preventable, treatable, and beatable.
The team kicked of the month at their annual Drillmasters Clinic where they wore Blue Star Buddy Bracelets provided by C3. They plan additional activities at which they will distribute bracelets as well as Caring Star Pins to bring attention to colon and rectal cancer.
Ride’um cowgirls!
