Bowel Cancer Australia

What is it? Bowel Cancer Australia dedicates itself to community awareness and the prevention of our country’s second deadliest cancer. Bowel cancer claims the lives of 103 Australians every week and more than 15,600 are diagnosed every year, yet it’s one of the most treatable cancers if found early. Where your money goes:

The community-funded charity runs campaigns such as Bowel Cancer Awareness Month (June) and the pharmacy-based Bowel Screen Australia program. It also supports patients with its own nurses and nutritionist, peer support program, academic research as well as other patient resources.
