Get Up There (GUT) 2026 · 6 March 2026 ·

GUT is a community event supporting the fight against colorectal cancer in collaboration with the DGHF. Join us on March 6 as we climb the hills of Wentworth to help improve FIT test return rates in Nova Scotia. Together, we can help save lives.

Story

In 2022 my FIT test came back positive. I went for the colnoscopy screen and had a number of benign polyps removed. I want everyone to know how important it is to return the FIT test!

In 2009, we started GUT in Bob Gascoignes memory and help prevent this insidious disease from killing Nova Scotians.

Since then, GUT funds have supported a public education and awareness effort aimed at encouraging more individuals to complete and return their FIT tests. Currently, only 45% of individuals who receive the kit complete and return it. Early detection is the best weapon we have to fight colorectal cancer. Join us - together, we can make a difference!
