Rach and Mina take on 43 Miles in September for Bowel Cancer UK

This September, I'm joining Walkies Together, a fundraising event by Bowel Cancer UK where people all over the UK walk with their dogs to support the charity. What better way to participate than with my best friend, Mina. We're walking 43 miles in September to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK.

Anyone who knows my family and me well understands how deeply Bowel Cancer has affected us. My Mum was the most loving, caring, and inspiring person I've ever known, and I miss her every single day. Sadly, 16,500 people die from Bowel Cancer each year in the UK. It's the second biggest cancer killer, but it doesn't have to be. Early detection, proper treatment, and care can prevent, treat, and even cure bowel cancer. That's why I walk for this cause—to raise awareness and funds in loving memory of my Mum, and those affected by this prolific illness.

Bowel Cancer UK is the leading charity in the UK that focuses on saving lives and improving the quality of life for those affected by bowel cancer. They provide crucial support and information to patients and their families, fund essential research, and advocate for early diagnosis and top-notch treatment and care.

Walkies Together is a fun and heartfelt way to support a cause that means so much to me and to celebrate the bond between humans and dogs. Every donation, big or small, makes a big difference and helps Bowel Cancer UK continue their vital work. You can also share our page with friends and family to spread the word about bowel cancer, its symptoms, prevention, and treatment.

Together, we can beat bowel cancer and save lives. Thank you for reading my story and for your support. I hope you'll join Mina and me in walking for this important cause this September and help make a world of difference for everyone affected by Bowel Cancer.
