Dear Editor,
Bowel cancer is the UK’s fourth most common cancer, but it can be treatable, curable and even preventable.
Knowing the symptoms – like blood in your poo, bleeding from your bottom or changes in your bowel habits – is really important.
Being active can also help reduce your risk.
Getting 150 minutes of exercise a week can reduce your risk of bowel cancer by around 20 per cent – yet almost a third of people in the UK don’t know this.
That’s why we’re asking people to Walk 60 Miles in October – that's less than two miles a day, at your own pace, wherever and whenever suits you.
Sign up at bowelcanceruk.org.uk, get walking, and fundraise for Bowel Cancer UK.
Every mile and every pound could help save lives.
Yours sincerely,
Genevieve Edwards
Chief Executive
Bowel Cancer UK
