Bowel cancer affects around 1 in 14 men and 1 in 19 women, and risk increases with age. And it’s more common in southwest England than in many other parts of the UK, due to the region’s high number of retired people. To help ensure that people living in the southwest have the best possible chance of beating the disease, Bowel Cancer West provides education and training to the healthcare community, funds vital local research, and campaigns to raise the profile of bowel cancer, making sure it is diagnosed early. But we need to go further. We are determined to save more lives, but we can’t do this alone. Please contact us to discuss a ways you can support us and help us raise the profile of the UK's second biggest cause of death by cancer: www.bowelcancerwest.com
