About Bum Run:
Bum Run is a charitable event focused on raising awareness of colon cancer screening and prevention. Over the past 13 years, this 5K walk/run has successfully raised over $1.2 million for various colon cancer charity organizations. The funds collected are directed towards colon cancer research, enhancing patient support programs for families dealing with colon cancer, and promoting the importance of screening and prevention.
Colon cancer is a significant health issue in Canada, which has one of the highest rates globally, affecting 1 in 16 Canadians. However, 90% of deaths from colon cancer can be prevented through regular screening.
