I'm taking part in the Edinburgh Marathon Festival to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK. They're the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and are determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with over 16,000 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable. I'm determined to help Bowel Cancer UK to change that. The money you donate will help fund Scotland's first Colorectal Cancer Surgical Research Chair a major new initiative in our mission to stop people dying of bowel cancer.
