As most of you know Andy and I have decided to climb Kilimanjaro. This once in a lifetime adventure will take place in mid March so we will be training very hard from now on. We are funding the vast majority of the trip ourselves but the aim is also to raise heaps of cash for charity.
Just over 4 years ago my mum was diagnosed with Colon cancer which is a form of Bowel Cancer. It was a total shock as she did not seem at all ill. She had treatment and she did beat the cancer although she was not left totally unscathed; she was left with a colostomy
The thing is that if she had recognised the symptoms early and had been correctly diagnosed at that time there is a very good chance that she would not need a bag for the rest of her life.
Bowel cancer is the 2nd biggest cancer killer in the UK. Of the 100 people diagnosed every day 50 will die. Unfortunately it is not a high profile cancer as many people find it embarrassing to talk about it, yet over 90% of cases can be treated successfully if caught in time.
Beating Bowel Cancer is a charity that is dedicated to raising awareness of bowel cancer and promoting early diagnosis so that more lives can be saved. You can get more information about the charity by clicking on the link on the left hand side of the page.
