We would like to thank all those who took part in our Decembeard fundraising campaign and are delighted to announce that we have reached our target of £250,000, which will help us to support people with bowel cancer and their families and to raise awareness of the disease, its symptoms and the need for early diagnosis.

Over 100 people are diagnosed every day, yet over 90 per cent of cases can be treated successfully if caught early.
