Every day one Nova Scotian dies from a disease that is 90% preventable.

That disease is colorectal cancer.

Get Up There (GUT) raises funds and awareness to support colorectal cancer screening and prevention. Funds raised through GUT helped the Dartmouth General Hospital purchase state-of-the-art equipment and technology used to screen for colorectal cancer and to open a 3rd Endoscopy Suite which is used exclusively for screening FIT-positive patients. The wait list for FIT-positive screening has been eliminated thanks to this new Suite.

GUT 2024 funds raised will also be directed to improving FIT return rates across Nova Scotia. Let's move that needle!
