My activity
I'm fundraising for Bowel Cancer UK
I’m taking part in ActiveApril for Bowel Cancer UK and raising money to help save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.
Recently, one of my friends has had an operation for bowel cancer. I have also had several symptoms of bowel cancer recently myself. I had a colonoscopy just before my birthday which has diagnosed another condition which can lead to bowel cancer. My personal experience has highlighted the need for everyone to do what they can to aid those diagnosed with bowel cancer and offer support to their families.
The money I raise will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, fund and support research into bowel cancer and support campaigns for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all.
I’m going to be getting active every day in April, please support me and donate today.
