Beating Bowel Cancer

Bowel cancer affects 35,000 people every year.  Over half of those diagnosed will die which is particularly tragic as bowel cancer is completely curable if caught in time. Beating Bowel Cancer exists to raise the awareness in the general public of the disease and to highlight the symptoms thus enabling people to identify their condition much more quickly and thus increase their survival rate.
