April is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a fantastic annual opportunity to raise awareness of bowel cancer, the fourth most common cancer in the UK.

The earlier bowel cancer is spotted, the more treatable it’s likely to be. In fact, more than 9 in 10 people survive bowel cancer when it is diagnosed at the earliest stage.

Why not get involved this April and help spread the word:

  • take the bowel cancer quiz, and then share it with your friends and family – as well as learning about the disease, you can enter a prize draw for one of five chances to win one year’s supply of Andrex® toilet roll!
  • attend an online awareness talk given by a volunteer with real life experience of bowel cancer 
  • follow Bowel Cancer UK on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn then tag, share and encourage others to get involved

For more information about bowel cancer and details of how to get involved during Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, visit Bowel Cancer Awareness Month.
