My story

Hi, I'm Ruth.

Jo is my sister and quite frankly amazing.

In July 2011 I was diagnosed with Bowel Cancer. It wa a complete shock and came from out of the blue. I underwent 8 cycles of chemotherapy and recieved the all clear on April 3rd 2012.

Throughout my diagnosis and treatment the team at Beating Bowel Cancer were supportive and informative. Not enough people know about the symptoms of Bowel Cancer and most, quite frankly, are too embarassed to talk about their poo!!

Jo decided that she wanted to do something to raise money for a charity and together we decided on Beating Bowel Cancer. They aim to raise awareness of Bowel Cancer and its symptoms and they need money to be able to do that. 

Please donate to Jo and support her in the way that she has supported me over the last year.


Thank you

My charity

Beating Bowel Cancer

Beating Bowel Cancer

Charity Registration No. 1063614

Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cause of cancer deaths. Around 1 in 18 people will get bowel cancer and, of the 100 people diagnosed every day, almost half will die of the disease. Yet, in over 90% of cases, bowel cancer could be treated successfully if diagnosed early, which is why raising awareness is so important. Beating Bowel Cancer is a national charity for those affected by bowel cancer and is dedicated to raising awareness of the symptoms and ultimately saving more lives.
