My sister-in-law is a stage 3 colon cancer survivor, and today is the first ever Annual National Dress In Blue Day. It’s part of Colon Cancer Awareness Month.  So I’m wearing blue for Nancy.

And I’m wearing blue for the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, especially its amazing staff.  Every day I see them in action — so many people in so many ways dedicated to overcoming and reducing the suffering of cancer.

Check out, for example, the Jim Ayers Institute, where they are establishing tests to detect cancers at the very earliest stages.  Can you imagine spotting colon cancer with a blood test?  They’re working on it, and using technology to do it.  Bet they’re wearing blue today too.
