I'm fundraising for Bowel Cancer UK
More than 10 years ago today my Mum was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. Due to the excellent work of Christies Cancer hospital she is still with us today stronger than ever. I love my mum unconditionally and I am partaking in this challenge not only for her but to also raise money for such an important charity to help save the lives of others like my mum.
Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and we're determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.
I’m diving into Swim15 this August 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.
Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with more than 16,500 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable.
