Raising funds for a silent killer….

In January I was told I had stage one cancer of the bowel after a  routine colonoscopy. 
As I had no symptoms at all that I had this killer disease growing inside of me this came as a shock. 
Lucky for me they were able to remove it all during surgery, I was a lucky one, unlike Mick Sobey who lost his live 3 years ago to the same killer also no symptoms but found out to late and had stage 4. 
This is my plea to you to please go get checked and donate to this wonderful foundation to help raise the funds need to fight cancer.

Are you aged 45-74 get screened

Sunday 2nd Mar
The chances of developing bowel cancer increases with age. Regular screening is important and can occur without any symptoms. Your risk is greater if you have a significant family history of bowel cancer or polyps. Trust me I’m walking proof. Please talk to your doctor, might just save your life.
