Colon Cancer Canada’s Push for Your Tush is a national walk/run event in support of Colon Cancer Canada.

Shari’s Story

The National Cancer Institute of Canada (NCIC) acknowledges CRC as the third most common cancer
My boys, ages 9, 8 and 2, will not have their father to watch them grow up, guide them, or share in their milestones.

Today, I am a single mother. My husband Richard was a firefighter, and knew he was at higher risk of colon cancer because of his profession. He was diagnosed in August 2010 after months of tests, a clean colonoscopy, and a clean blood test.

What followed was a difficult and painful 22 months. Our boys meant the world to Richard. He was an amazing father, and he will be forever missed.

Join us at the 2013 Push for your Tush event, where we will be walking in memory our dad and husband.
