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.

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. After having a recent FIT test come back positive and 8/9 months of symptoms, I have been going through an urgent referral for suspected cancer and further investigation. Until you find out you can’t rule it out. I’m grateful for the funding that allows these referrals to happen and while I await more results, I hope the money I raise can go towards helping others that unfortunately received a diagnosis.

I’m going to be getting active every day in April, which is still quite the challenge given my recent leg injury that I’m still recovering from! So please support me and donate today.

Gift Aid makes your donation worth more. For every pound you give, we can get an extra 25p. I would like Bowel Cancer UK to claim Gift Aid on this donation, as well as all donations I have made over the past four years and in the future. I am a UK taxpayer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donation in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference. Please notify the charity if you want to cancel this declaration; change your name or home address or no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains. If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.

Back out in the garden today pruning the buddleias and rhododendron!
