I signed up to do this challenge, and just like with everything else that’s happened to me over the last 12 months, I won’t be doing it alone!

You can click through to our individual pages below to read our stories in full, but the short version is - I (Erinn) was diagnosed with stage 3 rectal cancer in February 2025. Knitting and crocheting helped get me through treatment, and so did the awesome women doing this challenge with me.

Please donate whatever you can to help support this fantastic charity.

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.

Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer. Every 12 minutes someone is diagnosed with bowel cancer. That’s around 44,000 people every year, and 120 people every day. We're determined to change that. The funds raised from Bowel Cancer UK's March knitting challenge will help us to provide support and information to patients and their families, enable us to fund and support research into bowel cancer and allow us to campaign for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all.

Thank you.
