“My wonderful husband unfortunately passed away from Stage 4 bowel cancer in December 2024 at the young age of 39, only 16 months after being diagnosed and 20 months after displaying symptoms.

Mike felt strongly about providing awareness for bowel cancer in young people, and I promised him that I would continue to do this for him. This year, June 2025, marks the first year of the ‘Never2Young Trivia Night’ in honour of him. He loved spending time with friends and family and just having a good time, which led to the trivia night. I vow to make his memory a yearly event, along with the help of some friends.” ~ Brodie
