June is Bowel Cancer awareness month.

103 Australians die every week as a result of bowl cancer, that's 5375 people every year, but bowel cancer is one of the most treatable cancers if diagnosed early. The risk of bowel cancer does increase with age but it does affect both men and women, young and old. Over 15,000 people are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year - 300 per week!
You can support Bowel Cancer awareness month by purchasing a virtual ribbon that you can buy for yourself or send to a friend. You might also want to dedicate the ribbon to someone you know who has or had bowel cancer. Go to Bowel Cancer Australia's website to learn more about Bowel Cancer including prevention, early detection and treatment, as well as finding sources of support.
