The Stars Go Blue for Colon Cancer 2nd Annual Benefit Concert

It is almost time for for the 2^nd Annual 2010 Stars Go Blue For Colon Cancer Benefit Concert. Charley Kelley, a four time Grammy nominee was diagnosed with colon cancer in fall of 2008, at the age of 40. Three weeks later his wife Nan Kelley who is a host on GAC (Great American Country) successfully completed treatment for a different form of cancer. Charlies' cancer was luckily discovered early enough and he has now made a full recovery. Charlie was inspired to become a advocate for screenings and to help others battling with colon cancer.
