A huge thank you to everyone who kindly bought our Christmas Cards

Our 12km Walk 2011 raised £18,052 for Bowel Research, thank you all so much. See you all again in September!

  • Record numbers turn out for the 12km Walk for Bowel Disease 2011

    This years walk saw record numbers decend upon Sheen Gate in Richmond Park for our 6th annual 12km Walk for Bowel Disease. We had families, friends, patients and volunteers help out and also take part in our biggest event of the year.

    Amazingly the threat of heavy rain could not dampen spirits and a huge thank you to you all for your superb support including the Bunger Group of 28 who created a real carnival atmosphere!

    Next year will be slightly different, you can either run or walk the 12km for BowelDisease! Registration will be £10 and include a t-shirt, medal, certificate and wristband.

    I am looking forward to it already!

Think you may have a Bowel Disease?

  • What should I do?

    If you think you have a form of Bowel Disease, don't keep it to yourself. Make an appointment to see your GP as soon as possible.

    It may well be nothing at all but why take a chance, it could save your life and there is nothing embarrassing about that!

    You can now undertake a bowel cancer test at HOME, click here for details
