As the city filed it

The Bum Run event began thirteen years ago to raise public awareness of the fact that 90 percent of colon cancer deaths are preventable by early diagnosis. Through collaboration with surgeons, hospital staff, friends and families the event was created in order to raise funds for early diagnosis clinics, facilitation and awareness of the benefits of preventative action. The Bum Run is a Toronto-hosted event that is registered as 100 percent non-profit.
