Update - July 2018. We're pleased to announce that Riley's book is now available! Follow the link below to get your copy.

"The Step Into Action run was not only a significant experience for me; it also impacted many of other lives. With this book, I wanted to create a record of the event for those who participated in or contributed to the success we all shared. This book acknowledges all those who helped make Step Into Action a reality.

This book also serves as a record for myself, and as a gift to my children, so they can see what their dad was up to that summer of 2011."

Step Into Action - The Run Across Canada That Gave Prostate Cancer the Finger

November 18, 2015. HAPPY MOVEMBER!!! With the 5 year anniversary of Riley's cross-Canada run approaching, we are working on a number of initiatives to push towards our Million Dollar fundraising goal. More to come as the SIA team continues to brainstorm and find the right way to properly celebrate the anniversary and gather further fundraising momentum. 

We are pleased to announce a relationship with 2UNDR a performance men's underwear company, founded in Vancouver, BC. The team at 2UNDR has released a BLUE RIBBON colorway and is encouraging men to "Join the UNDERWEARNESS movement" with a portion of proceeds from each pair of Prostate Cancer Blue 2UNDR's in Canada donated to Step Into Action.

October 7, 2012  This marks the one year anniversary of Dr. Riley Senft completing his coast to coast run across Canada to spread the word that early detection of Prostate Cancer can save lives. So the question is: Men ... have you followed the STEPS TO ACTION and seen your doctor to get checked for Prostate Cancer? Depending on your situation and family history a DRE and PSA test could quite simply, save your life. Follow the steps to action, book an appointment with your doctor and ensure you (or the men in your life) don't die of embarassment. Early detection is the key!

Update: Riley took a trip across the pond to share the Step Into Action message with the men and women of the London Business School as a distinguished speaker at their TedX event. Take a look at the video to remember the grizzly truth about prostate cancer and the incredible journey Riley embarked on to make a difference. And a difference has been made - $571K raised.

Welcome to Step into Action, Dr. Riley Senft’s personal quest to save the lives of future Prostate Cancer victims by educating men on the steps to early Prostate Cancer detection.
