| The voice of an award-winning actress features in our latest awareness campaign which uses computer-generated imagery in a high-impact commercial complete with a talking bowel! The campaign builds on the success of our highly acclaimed, Home of Australia's second deadliest cancer campaign, which was voiced by UK comedian Bill Bailey. Watch out for it in June. |
|
| A simple way to help show your support this June is to wear a Bowel Cancer Awareness Ribbon or even better, grab yourself a display box of 30 to sell to friends and colleagues. Alternatively, send, dedicate, or buy a virtual ribbon which will be displayed in our virtual apple tree. Add a virtual bowel cancer awareness ribbon using our dedicated Facebook frame and encourage your family and friends to do the same. |
|
| It's important to recognise possible bowel cancer symptoms and have them investigated if they persist. This June download our social tiles, be the messenger, and help us to raise awareness of bowel cancer symptoms and risk factors. |
|
| Almost 99% of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated when detected in the earliest stage. Commit to making your health a priority. Purchase a screening test and check your poo on June 2. If you're aged 50-74 you are eligible to participate in the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program. |
|
| If you've ever thought about raising awareness and funds for bowel cancer, then Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is the perfect time to do it. Host a Red Apple Day (15 June) fundraiser or awareness activity. Check out our a-peel-ing recipes for your themed fundraiser - get creative - organise an apple pie bake off, apple bobbing challenge or simply make a gold coin donation for wearing something red. Ideas are only limited by your imagination! |

| All donations DOUBLED. All donations MATCHED.* *Up to the value of $100,000 Around 10% of all new bowel cancer cases occur in people under the age of 50, and young-onset patients are more likely to be diagnosed at a later stage when the disease is more difficult to treat. We need your help this Red Apple Day, Bowel Cancer Australia’s Annual Giving Day, to raise much-needed funds to support the best and brightest scientists dedicated to researching young-onset bowel cancer. Together, with your help, we can build a path toward a cure. Donate by June 15 and have your gift MATCHED, so your donation will have DOUBLE the impact. Like to become a Red Apple Day Champion? Sign up as an individual or a team and create your own dedicated Annual Giving Day fundraising page. |

You can email, call (1800 555 494) or video chat with one of our friendly Bowel Care Nurses and/or Nutritionists during business hours. If you choose, we can buddy you with another patient in a similar situation.
