Gutsy for Gut Cancer

Challenge yourself, be Gutsy for Gut Cancer!

Gut cancer patients face challenges throughout their treatment and beyond. What challenge will you take up? A run, a head shave, climb a mountain? The choice is yours! Show your support, be gutsy and raise funds to improve the outcomes for gut cancer patients in New Zealand.

Need some ideas?

  • Gutsy for Gut Cancer Walk / Run / Bike / Climb: Enter a race, or challenge yourself to complete a virtual event.

  • Gutsy for Gut Cancer Head Shave: Shave or cut your hair short, lose the beard or try a new style.

  • Gutsy for Gut Cancer: By doing something you enjoy. Play golf on as many NZ courses in a week, bungy or jump out of a plane! Only limited by your imagination.

The difference you will make

More New Zealanders die of a gut cancer each year than breast and prostate cancer combined. Over 5000 are affected every year and more than half will not survive beyond 5 years.

To improve the survival rates of gut cancers, there is an urgent need to fund clinical research and raise awareness of this group of cancers of the digestive tract which are under-represented in public consciousness.

Your support will provide hope for gut cancer patients in New Zealand enabling access to global clinical trials and new treatments faster, together with raising awareness of the causes and symptoms of gut cancers.
