The Covid-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect with the cancellation of thousands of events and the loss of billions in income through fundraising events.

The Virgin Money London Marathon alone, which should have taken place on Sunday 26 April, is the world’s biggest one-day fundraising event, which raised more than £66.4 million for thousands of charities in 2019.

Many of these charities have had to reduce or stop services at a time when vulnerable members of society need them most; thousands of staff have been placed on furlough and many charities will not survive the next few months.

BOWEL CANCER UK does come under this category they have had to furlough staff and expect to loose up to half their usual income because of the events they rely on during the year and the amazing people that raise money for them are unable to do so. 

Their service and support is so important to so many patients and specialist such as myself. We are still diagnosing people with bowel cancer and they still need information and support especially now!! You think it's hard at the moment imagine being given a cancer diagnosis whilst this is going on.... 

I am going to set up a justgiving page for bowel cancer uk and do my 2.6 miles on sunday 26th April- if you want to join in let me know AND DONATE what you can. £2.60 to £26

 Or if you want to do this for a chosen charity close to your heart I know they will be so appreciative 💙💛❤💜🧡💚💗🌈
