TV presenter calls on walkers

As a keen walker I’m delighted to be supporting Bowel Cancer UK and Beating Bowel Cancer’s Walk Together.

My mum was diagnosed with bowel cancer and is thankfully now recovered, so I know how important it is to raise awareness.

Walk Together is a perfect opportunity to bring people together from all “walks” of life, to remember loved ones and help stop people dying from bowel cancer.

It’s a sponsored walk for people of all ages and abilities. Bowel cancer is the UK’s fourth most common cancer and the second biggest cancer killer.

Every year almost 42,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer and more than 16,000 people die from the disease.

Sign up to the walk in London on September 15 or to receive a fundraising pack with everything you need to hold your own memorable walk, visit bowelcanceruk.org.uk/ walktogether
