 Quite the attraction at Limeridge mall this week.
It's a 40 foot colon named Coco.
The display is to help raise awareness during colorectal cancer awareness month.
It is the 2nd most common form of cancer, next to lung cancer.
83-hundred people were diagnosed with it in the province last year and 3-thousand people died.
If found early it has a 90 percent cure rate.
Juravinski Cancer Centre President Dr. Bill Evans recommends that people over 50 have a fecal occult blood test every two years.
