Paulette Stallone, a patient at CentraState Medical Center, had no risk factors for colorectal cancer. She ran marathons, taught fitness classes, ate well and never smoked. She did not have diabetes, nor did she fit the ethnic profile and no one in her family ever had colorectal cancer. Despite that, at age 44 she was shocked to be diagnosed with rectal cancer, and found herself facing a grueling regimen of chemotherapy and radiation, as well as surgery.
 
Determined to continue enjoying the activity that had become so much a part of her life, she continued to run three miles a day, four days a week through chemo and radiation. After the surgery, she had to wait seven weeks before she could resume running, but when she did resume, it was with more conviction than ever.
 
Now, pairing with Freehold Runners Club, and Jersey Shore Runners Club, Paulette is organizing a run/walk in conjunction with CentraState Medical Center. It’s to benefit colorectal cancer education and help fund an exercise program called FitCare, which provides structured, moderate exercise for patients while they are undergoing cancer treatment. Evidence shows that moderate exercise can reduce disease- and treatment-related fatigue as well as boost overall well being.
 
Paulette is dedicated to helping others beat this disease through education, prevention, early detection and a focus on wellness following a cancer diagnosis.
