This may surprise you, but young people get bowel cancer too, and when we do, our symptoms are often mistaken for something else.

We're often diagnosed late, into a system that doesn't understand us. It can be a lonely and scary place to be.

The truth is, you're never too young. That's why young people with bowel cancer have teamed up with Bowel Cancer UK to set up this unique, patient led campaign - we're determined to change that.

We're on a mission to give young people with bowel cancer a voice. We're challenging policy, changing clinical practice, and connecting younger patients with one another.

For too long we've felt invisible. It's time to bring together all our voices, to amplify them so that they can be heard by those with the power to deliver real change.
