Im taking part in the Great North Run to raise money for Bowel Cancer UK. 

They are 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.

Im determined to help Bowel Cancer UK to change that. The money you donate will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, enable them to fund and support research into bowel cancer and to campaign for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all.

Big risk factors are being inactive, eating a poor diet, consuming lots of red and processed meats, being overweight and being over 50. Jade had none of these risk factors! Not one! In fact, she was the opposite. Young, fit and full of life 😔 it could have been any of us, but it wasn’t 😓
