Love Your Buns

Love Your Buns is dedicated to raising awareness about young-onset colorectal cancer and supporting individuals affected by Low Anterior Resection Syndrome (LARS) following rectal cancer treatment. The organization empowers patients and caregivers with knowledge and resources, providing advocacy and community support to improve the quality of life for those experiencing LARS symptoms and colorectal cancer. Love Your Buns aims to remove stigma and improve awareness around rectal cancer, its increasing incidence and to increase knowledge of its symptoms. An increasing epidemic in young adults, rectal cancer is easy to remove if caught early, however due to a variety of reasons, young adults are not likely to seek screening options like colonoscopies. This gap in screening is leading to more advanced disease at diagnosis and more challenging and strenuous treatment. Love Your Buns pledges room sponsorship at new Peltier Lodge, providing a home away from home for cancer patients undergoing treatment at the Roger Maris Cancer Center in Fargo, North Dakota. Our board and team of volunteer leaders are dedicated to the cause of reducing incidence of young adult rectal cancer and improving quality of life for all rectal cancer survivors. Inspired to help? We have numerous volunteer opportunities available.
