Our story…

May 2, 1986- Oct 4, 2025

We are raising funds for Bum Run/CCRAN in honour of Dr. Marko Yurkovich’s mission to raise awareness, drive research, and advocate for early onset colorectal cancer.

Dr. Yurkovich was diagnosed with Stage IV colorectal cancer in 2022, at the age of 36. He was a tireless advocate for early onset colorectal cancer patients, and worked closely with Colorectal Cancer Canada’s Screen 45 campaign, which advocates for lowering the colorectal cancer screening age to 45 across Canada.

Dr. Yurkovich founded Genetica Medical & Wellness Centre, where he welcomed and mentored countless UBC medical students and residents. As a true leader in primary care, he was instrumental in advancing initiatives that deepened continuity of care and strengthened team-based practice across the community. He was a beloved teacher, mentor, colleague, and friend, whose unwavering passion for patient-centred care shone through every interaction. His team continues to honour his legacy through their dedication to teaching, compassion, and service to the Downtown West End community he so passionately served.

Marko's generosity, kindness and bright laughter is deeply missed.
