Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This year it's time to do something different, so we've signed up to take part in the Bobby Moore Fund's Project in September 2010 to raise money for the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research and we would really welcome your support. 

The trip has two objectives - firstly to raise funds to help tackle bowel cancer and secondly to renovate a remote village school in Bandeira. We are aiming to raise a minimum of £4000. 

The project will involve an 11 day trip to renovate a remote school and a football pitch and will be developed in partnership with the local population - it will give the children and their parents the chance to continue their education in their own village, close to their families, rather than being obliged to move away.

The projects are based on the success of last year's projects which raised over £100,000 for bowel cancer research and left a lasting legacy for a local community in both and .

One in three people in the will develop cancer at some point during their lifetime, and sadly, this disease claims the lives of one in four. Every year 16,000 people die from bowel cancer alone, making it the second highest cause of cancer death in the , after lung cancer. Around 100 new cases of bowel cancer are diagnosed each day in the . But despite its prevalence so few people know or talk about this disease.

The Bobby Moore Fund’s mission is to save lives by raising awareness of bowel cancer and to fund research. Bowel cancer is a largely preventable disease and, if caught early enough, more than nine out of ten people could be successfully treated.

We would be so grateful if you would be willing to sponsor us and help tackle bowel cancer. It's really easy to donate either by credit or debit card below.
