Bumrun is a charity organization whose mission is to increase participation in screening programs for colon cancer and to raise funds for colon cancer charities.
Across Canada, Bumrun hosts annual 5K walk/run events dedicated to raising awareness and encouraging screening to prevent colon cancer.
Colon cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death for men and 3rd for women. On average, 68 Canadians are diagnosed with colon cancer every day and 26 die from it.
Bum Run donates 100% of their proceeds to charities proven to raise awareness for colon cancer screening. Because the main weapon against needless death is awareness.
1 in 14 Canadian men, and 1 in 18 Canadian women, will develop colon cancer during their lifetime. It’s likely someone you know is walking around undiagnosed right now.
