Four weeks ago I had major surgery to remove almost all of my large bowel and the cancer that had been found there not long before. We are waiting to hear if I will need any more treatment but feel incredibly lucky that this was found early and that there was quickly a clear plan for my treatment. Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and we're determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.I'm walking as far as I and our puppy can manage this October and raising money to help save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer. The money I raise will help to provide support and information to patients and their families, fund and support research into bowel cancer and support campaigns for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all. Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with more than 16,500 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable.
