My Gut Instinct, Inc. Brings Awareness for Colorectal Cancer with Undy 500

My Gut Instinct, Inc. is bringing awareness for Colorectal Cancer with its annual Undy 500. This event will bring together the community for an afternoon focused on Colorectal Cancer prevention. Colorectal Cancer is the 2nd most common cause of cancer death in men and women in the US affecting approximately 150k people per year, a third of which will die of the disease. This is because 1 in 3 Americans, even those with insurance, are not screened when recommended. It is a leading cause of cancer death in young men and women between the ages of 20 to 49! Colon Cancer is beatable in 90% of cases when detected early, and with appropriate screening, and is often entirely preventable.

The Undy 500 will take place at Classic Harley-Davidson, located at 983 James Drive, Leesport on Saturday, April 8th, 11-2pm.

Join us for a free family-friendly event. Bring your favorite wheels including bicycle, motorcycle, scooter, skateboard, rollerblades, unicycle and grab your free pair of commemorative Undy Ride boxer shorts, and ride our 500m obstacle course site at Classic Harley-Davidson, wearing your gifted boxers or your own skiivies. Ride in solidarity for all those who are survivors or victims of Colorectal Cancer. Free at-home stool kits will be given away to those who have never been screened to test yourself at home. Feel free to dress in dark blue for the event as that’s the color for Colon Cancer. There will be food for purchase from J.R.’s Brisket & BBQ. Those who have never been screened and own a motorcycle, get a free oil change for your motorcycle if you follow through and get your first colonoscopy in 2023. Enter to win 4 R-Phils front row, box seats on Opening Day and also receive a Harley-Davidson 120th anniversary swag bag.

During the event, we will have live music from JAM (Jenny and Mel duo). We will also have the Reading Royals Slapshot Mascot and Ice Angels in attendance. We are also bringing back the Poop Shoot game where you can win prizes. Many thanks to our event sponsor, Classic Harley-Davidson.

Wish my town had a channel like this, very cool idea to bring the community together and give people a platform.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
