About our charity : Bowel and Cancer Research Bowel and Cancer Research
35,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year – it’s the 2nd biggest cancer killer. Thousands more will have to face life with a stoma as a result of surgery.We want more people to survive bowel cancer by investigating what initiates it and causes it to spread (metastasise) to produce better diagnostic techniques and therapies. Our research also covers other bowel diseases, such as Colitis and Crohn’s Disease and through pioneering surgical techniques we aim to enable sufferers to live free of a stoma.

Our personal message:

I am walking part of the Great Wall of China in October 2008 with Lynn Georgiou to raise money for the Bowel & Cancer Research charity. We are doing this in memory of our friend Penny Rogers who died in Feb 2007 after a 3 year battle against bowel cancer. Penny was one of the fittest & healthiest people I knew before the cancer & if it could happen to her it could happen to any of us.

The trek will last 6 days & involves up to 8hrs walking per day so will be very challenging. Please give as generously as you can to this very worthwhile cause.

2/5/08 update - I am so pleased to have met my target and thank everyone who has supported me so far. My challenge now is to see how much I can exceed this with support from friends, family and colleagues! Please look out for details of a music event that I am arranging for June 20th.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to donate: Bowel and Cancer Research will receive your money electronically and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in Gift Aid will be added to your donation at no cost to you.

Please donate generously.

Many thanks for your support.
