My best (and oldest!) friend, Bernie, was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2021 and, after surgery in January, is currently having chemotherapy. Although the treatment is gruelling, Bernie is a strong, courageous person, who just gets on with life and her now life-changing condition. I am so proud of her and want to support her, and Bowel Cancer research and care, by raising money for this worthy charity.

Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and we're 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 more than 16,500 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable. We're determined to change that. The funds raised will help us to provide support and information to patients and their families, enable us to fund and support research into bowel cancer and allow us to campaign for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all.
