Colon Cancer Alliance - Undy 5000
The Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) is a community that provides hope and support to patients and their families, while saving lives through prevention, research and patient support services. Our vision is for a world free of colon cancer, where education, early detection and treatment lead to survivorship for all.
The Undy 5000 is a family-friendly 5K run/walk that was created by the Colon Cancer Alliance. It is unique because participants are encouraged to run in their boxers to bring attention to the area affected by colon cancer. We have found that by getting people talking about this disease, we can save lives!

Dr. Makarawo's - Las Terranas, Dominican Republic | 2014 Medical Mission
In March 2014, I was selected to travel with the Midwest Missions Group to a remote village in Dominican Republic where I was involved in mission work. During this one week trip, in amongst the multitude of activities involved, we were able to set up a surgical clinic and outpatient surgery department. We triaged multiple patients and operated on the largest number of patients ever in the 40 year history of this group's mission trips over the years, the surgeries performed including primarily pediatric hernias, adult hernias and adult symptomatic cholelithiasis.

Porellos "Help us to help others"
Dr. Forstner takes great pride in being a co-founder of Por Ellos along with her two dear friends, Suyen Largaespada and Tobias Engert. Headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona, USA, Por Ellos coordinates projects primarily for the locale of Granada, Nicaragua, a large colonial town in Southern Nicaragua, expanding to the rural areas surrounding the urban zone of Granada. Por Ellos develops projects to bridge the gaps in other existing larger projects, supplying resources and professional expertise to improve the conditions of the local population.
Por Ellos addresses the entire community, using small, concrete projects focused on the areas of health, education, and nutrition with the ultimate objective to improve the quality of life and there bye to improve the social situation.
Por Ellos has helped to renovate preschools and trade schools in and around Granada in addition to running basic health education days in the rural areas. We had a 10 year long-running project of physical, occupational, and speech therapy helping 200 families annually and a 3-year program that taught English to rural children ages 11-18 to help them find work in tourist-related occupations in Nicaragua. Sadly these were cut short by the civil war that occurred, and as a result the charity is on hiatus until the country stabilizes.
