Story

Bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK. My friend lost her husband David to this last year on the 4th of September, a few days before their fifth wedding anniversary.

Sadly he was the fourth person that l've known to have succumbed to this cruel illness. Unfortunately, the early stages can go undetected as there can be no noticeable symptoms till it's too late.

Bowel Cancer UK supports everyone who is affected by bowel cancer. They fund research that improves the prevention, early detection and treatment of the disease.

This research and treatment gave David more time with his family and friends, and make more memories.

I'm running the Great North Run in memory of David for Bowel Cancer UK on the 8th September. This would of been his sixth wedding anniversary. No one should see their loved ones suffer or die from this cruel illness.

Thank you for your support ♥️
