These playlists on Spotify and Amazon contain the first records that people have kindly chosen to have included in my new bowel cancer charity for a £1 donation. There is still time to add your record to this list and be part of the book, and all additions will be added to the play lists.
The last time I saw Skinny Lister was at The Garage in Highbury before Christmas, where I got to meet the band and see the sound check as part of the chapter on the band included in my forthcoming bowel cancer fundraising book. With the release of the bands 4th studio album, The Story Is…
David Weeks has taken #bowelbear Rollins on a hike, and sent me these amazing photos of the views overlooking Agerola near the Amalfi Coast 35km south-west of Naples in Italy. David is living with stage 4 bowel cancer, and a year ago he underwent eight-hour surgery to remove the tumour from his bowel. Life, understandably,
I’ve received a lovely letter from Susan George for inclusion in the new book. My connection with her goes back to Mum’s illness when Susan very kindly invited her down to see her Arabian horses in Exmoor.

Dylan travelled for four hours to watch his side Uerdingen play Sonnenhof Großaspach in Division Three of the German Bundesliga. Sadly I have to report that the match
The bowel bears are beginning to go on their travels. #bowelbear Millie has recently gone with Jane Suter to Prague, and had a fabulous time as you can see in the photos. So Millie has been on an aeroplane, used the trams and the metro! She visited the castle, Hard Rock Café, and the Irish
