Inflatable colon returns to West Palm Beach waterfront

I wondered whether the inflatable colon would return to the Meyer Amphitheatre for Saturday's Undy 5000. I was happy to see it because the tunnel provided some relief from the winds that were whipping around the West Palm Beach waterfront. 

It was a mere 54 degrees when I left my house in Lake Worth. 

Inflatable colon provides relief from the wind while showing colon cancer cells as scary red blotches.

But I did not go inside the tunnel. Last year, I learned my lesson while walking through that inflatable: Colon cancer is scary ugly, something you definitely don't want to have growing inside you.

Running in my undies in West Palm Beach

Inflatable colon was a highlight of last year's Undy 5000.

If you're looking for me on the morning of Saturday, Feb. 2, you can find me running in my boxers on Flagler Drive in West Palm Beach.

I signed up for the Undy 5000 as part of Team Clematis. The 5K Run/Walk  raises money for the Colon Cancer Alliance. The group provides hope, support and awareness to colon cancer patients and their families, while educating people about the need to be tested early. They are giving out boxers to 5K participants to call attention to the area that colon cancer affects. Hence the name, Undy 5000.
