Benefit for Jennifer Lutz

Benefit for Jennifer Lutz

When Tara Waite heard her long time friend Jennifer Lutz was diagnosed with colon cancer, she knew she wanted to do something to help her, so she decided to hold a fundraiser in her honor. The fundraiser will be held on Saturday, July 19 at Smokin’ Harley-Davidson beginning with a Poker Run and multiple other activities.

According to the Mayo Clinic, colon cancer is cancer of the large intestine (colon), the lower part of your digestive system, while rectal cancer is cancer of the last several inches of the colon. Together, they’re often referred to as colorectal cancers.

“Most cases of colon cancer begin small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called adenomatous polyps. Over time some of these polyps become colon cancers. Polyps may be small and produce few, if any, symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend regular screening tests to help prevent colon cancer by identifying polyps before they become colon cancer,” the Mayo Clinic stated.

Jennifer and her husband, Andy, who own Southern Smoke Eatery and Tavern, first found out she had cancer after seeking help for what Jennifer thought was a common stomach bug on Memorial Day; however, it wasn’t that simple.

“After two visits they found that she had something inside her, and after having several tests doctors found a mass in her colon,” Andy explained, noting that the next day they performed surgery to remove the mass.

Andy said Jennifer’s reaction was to be expected.

“At first, she was scared and shocked, but she is dealing better with it now,” he said.

Although having colon cancer was new to Jennifer, her grandmother, mother, aunt and uncle have all had colon cancer.

“It runs in the family. We just never thought she might get it this young,” Andy said, noting that Jennifer is only 31-years-old.

The Lutz’s have a soon to be two-year-old son.

Andy said the odds are good since Jennifer’s aunt, uncle and mother are all survivors of colon cancer, and her mother is also a survivor of breast cancer. Unfortunately, they lost her grandmother to multiple cancers.

After having surgery, Jennifer started chemotherapy last week and will stay on it for six months.

“The chemo is more of a preventative thing since they found some in five of her lymph nodes. Due to age and the size of the growth, they want to make sure it doesn’t spread anywhere else,” Andy said.

He noted that through all of this, everyone they know has been very supportive, especially Waite.

After hearing that Jennifer was diagnosed with colon cancer, Waite wanted to do something to help. So, she contacted Smokin’ Harley-Davidson to put on an event, which will be held on Saturday, July 19, with events including a poker run, poker walk, corn hole tournament, live music, and a raffle.

Registration for the poker run will be held from 9 – 11 a.m. with kickstands going up at 11:10 a.m. The ride begins at Smokin’ Harley-Davidson and heads into Winston-Salem, with the first stop on First Street, a second stop on Second and Greene Streets and a third stop at the Ole Watering Hole, before returning back to Smokin’ Harley-Davidson. The cost to ride is $15/bike and $20 for two or more riders.

The poker walk will begin once all riders are back from the poker run.

“Doug Thomas came up with the idea for the poker walk for those that don’t have a bike or cannot ride and would still like to be involved,” Andy said.

Live music will begin at 1 p.m. by Thrillbilly, followed by Double Down at 4 p.m., and Carolina Cowboys from 8 – 11:30 p.m.

Registration for the corn hole tournament will be held at 12 p.m. and the tournament will begin at 1 p.m. The cost to play is $15.00. Fifty-percent of the money from the tournament will go to the winner, with the other going to Jennifer’s medical bills.

Proceeds from the event will help pay for Jennifer’s medical bills.

For more information about the event, email Waite at bntwaite@gmail.com.
