Stomach Cancer Awareness Run · Winnipeg

I live without a stomach. I run for everyone else.

Cancer changed Cam Tran's life completely. On Sun, Nov 8 he's bringing together 100 runners and walkers — free, with lunch and a live band.

Why Cam runs

Cam has been a runner for years. Then cancer took his stomach — and, he says, his fear of death. What's left is the time he has, and he's spending it on other people: hosting events, running, and making sure fewer families are caught off guard by this disease.
