My Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I’m taking on the Walk 44 Miles Challenge this October to help raise money for the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK. Please show your support and help fund cutting-edge research by donating to my page. I was diagnosed with bowel cancer in mid August (actually on my birthday!). I underwent surgery on 1st September and thanks to my amazing surgeon, Mr Stubbs, I am now cancer free, and will be monitored for 3 years. Although I am still in recovery from surgery and some days need to be close to a toilet I hope to be able to walk the 44 miles 🤞🏻 I have always done my routine “poo tests” which have been clear. However, due to a change in my toilet habits earlier this year I visited my GP who was fantastic and set the ball in motion which led to my speedy diagnosis. Please, please pay attention to your body and never be embarrassed to talk about your poo and don’t hesitate to act on anything that worries you.
CAUSE
Bowelbabe Fund
Fuelled by the spirit of rebellious hope - of choosing to remain hopeful in the face of overwhelming odds - the Bowelbabe Fund for Cancer Research UK was set up to continue the incredible legacy of Dame Deborah James. We raise money to fund cutting edge research into early detection and personalised medicine, raise awareness of signs and symptoms and tackle the stigmas around cancer with unflinching honesty so we can give more people affected by cancer more time with the people they love.
