Bowel Cancer Australia eNews: Help Us Kick Bowel Cancer's Butt!

Get together with your mothers, sisters, grandmothers, aunts, nieces, cousins and girlfriends and host a kick ass activity to raise much needed funds and awareness for Bowel Cancer Australia.

Book in for high tea or a ladies’ dinner party. Organise a group session of walking, yoga, soccer, pilates, swimming, skateboarding, running or Tai Chi.

Save the date and start planning early for Sunday 12th May. Mother's Day provides a lovely opportunity to celebrate all the wonderful Mums out there and also to remember the special Mums who are no longer with us.

Around 7,068 Aussie women are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year.
Possible bowel cancer signs can often be dismissed as symptoms associated with pregnancy or recent childbirth, endometriosis, menstruation, menopause (perimenopause) - or even simply being a busy tired mum with young children.
The good news is that almost 99% of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully if found early.
No one knows your body better than you, so listen to it and if something isn't right, make an appointment to speak with your GP as soon as possible and seek a second (or third) opinion if necessary.
