GUT’S IMPACT Get Up There (GUT) raises funds and awareness to support colorectal cancer screening and prevention. On March 1st at Ski Wentworth, the 2024 event will mark the 16th anniversary of GUT, which has raised over $900,000 to support the fight against colorectal cancer.
WHAT IS GUT?
Founded in 2008 by Mark Gascoigne, who lost his father to colorectal cancer, Get Up There (GUT) raises funds and awareness to support colorectal cancer screening and prevention.
Through GUT, Mark’s tireless lobbying, fundraising efforts and determination were instrumental in bringing the fecal immunochemical stool test (FIT) to Nova Scotia in 2009. This critically important test is mailed out to Nova Scotia residents on or around their 50th birthday. The test is 100% painless and can easily be completed at one’s home. In the first four years of the program, 2,500 Nova Scotians were identified as having pre-cancerous or malignant polyps.
Currently, only 34% of people who receive the test in the mail complete and return it. There is still much work to be done to save lives through screening and early detection of colorectal cancers. This is GUT’s mission and singular focus.
Our goal is to double the number of FIT tests completed each year by 2025. With your help, we can do this.
