October 2024 marks the 4th Big Bowel Movement!

This year, instead of a single day event, we have the ability to track our miles throughout the whole month of October thanks to our shiny new website! All you need to do is contact us either through Instagram @the_big_bowel_movement or email us at thebigbowelmovement@gmail.com for a unique code to register on the website. Emily will send you the link to the website with your code.

Use it to log in, select a username and set your rough location. You then update your miles travelled as often as you like throughout October. You can log hourly, daily, weekly or at the end of the month. We will total our miles on November 1st and once again our target is 1000 miles collectively. As usual, these miles need to be self propelled ie. Walking, jogging, cycling, swimming etc.

BCUK plays a pivotal role in supporting people affected by bowel cancer; campaigning for early diagnosis and access to the best treatment and care, funding research and educating health professionals. With early detection, effective treatment and continued support we hope for the best possible outcome for patients and we hope that you will join us on this mission.

The Big Bowel Movement was founded in memory of a dear friend, Karl Sears, who passed away in 2018. We ask participants to walk/run/swim/cycle or use any self-propelled movement to cover as large a distance as possible to raise money for BCUK. Sponsorship is encouraged; please add your small donation to take part on this page. There is the option to contribute a little bit more if you opt to purchase an event T-shirt. These cost £10 for adults and £5 for kids and can be used in the future for other Big Bowel Movement events, so worth the investment! To order yours, just email us at thebigbowelmovement@gmail.com

All distances must be completed by midnight on Halloween. We would love to see your photos, either on Instagram and tag @the_big_bowel_movement If you do not use social media then please email us and we can add them for you.

Good luck and thanks for taking part… let’s make this our biggest bowel movement yet 💪🏻
