Fundraising for Bowel Disease Research Foundation
Story
I will be doing a charity walk in October 2010, raising money for 'The Bowel Disease Research Foundation of the association of coloproctology of Great Britain and Ireland'.
This body researches into everything from bowel cancer to inflamatory bowel disease, and they desperately need funds.
Did you know that bowel cancer is the second most common cancer in women after breast cancer, and third for men after prostate and lung?
Approximately 35,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the each year and as it presents late and the only effective treatment is surgery, half of these people will die.Inflammatory bowel disease affects mainly young people – it is becoming more common, causes frequent episodes of severe illness, and requires repeated operations and often stomas. Life expectancy is significantly reduced. There is currently no cure.I know it is a bad time to be asking for money, but even a small contribution will make a huge difference to this very worthy research.
Thank you for any help you can give.
