Story

In 2019 I very sadly lost one of my closest friends to bowel cancer. Ann-Marie was only 32 and like too many people her cancer was diagnosed too late for her to be helped. Bowel cancer can be cured if it is detected early enough but tragically that is often not the case. 

Matt and I have known several people with this awful disease now so it it a cause very close to our hearts . I have chosen to raise money for Bowel research in the hope that funding science will help develop methods of earlier detection and better treatments. If we can help prevent another family and friendship group losing someone close to them that will be a great achievement.
