In late 2020, in the middle of a global pandemic, my Dad, Terry Cleary, was diagnosed with bowel cancer. The NHS was amazing; he had surgery quickly followed by chemotherapy. The treatment was successful. Earlier this year, a routine post-treatment scan showed that the cancer had returned and sadly this time it couldn't be removed. My Dad is currently having chemotherapy for 3 weeks every month to keep him as well as possible for a long as possible

My 50th birthday will be a very special family celebration as we're making the most of every day we have together

I would love to raise loads of money for bowel cancer UK to help them continue to support families like us and fund future life-saving research. If you can make a donation, I would be very grateful and, when you get invited in you 50s for bowel screening, please take up the offer
