Help Helen raise money

For participating in Bumrun Ottawa 2021

My Story…

I lost my sister to colon cancer when she was 48 years old. Early screening for her could have saved her life - but it saved mine. Her diagnosis meant that I was screened at 43 years old and had two polyps removed. A 5 year follow up screening saw another polyp removed from my colon. All before it would have ever been found by a routine screening at 50. I am participating to raise awareness for the need for early screening and detection and to honour my sister and best friend who was taken far too soon.

Donate to help Helen raise money for Bumrun Ottawa 2021’s fundraising campaign.
