A little bit of luck got #bowelbear Charlie into Headingley cricket ground the home of Yorkshire County Cricket and of course every so often to England too. I’ve spent the weekend visiting my brother’s new home in Leeds, which is located only a few minutes from the ground. We went there with the expectation of
This is the perfect photo. #bowelbears Hope and Dylan at the Sir Ken Dodd statue in Liverpool today. Brilliant effort by Helen Johnson. Sadly Sir Ken died earlier this year aged 90. This photo has certainly set down a marker for all stop bowel bear owners to follow. Where will bears go to next and
The latest #bowelbear photo I received came from Sara Williams. She had the lovely idea of naming her bear PG, after her brother Peter Geraint, who sadly died almost thirty years ago aged just 25. I was really touched by the idea, and perhaps others might follow suit in the future. Sara is someone who

Next month Bowel Cancer UK hold the annual Decembeard event to raise awareness about bowel cancer, and to raise funds to support the charity’s vital services and and life saving research. I have a big dilemma about taking part in this, aside from the fact that me and growing beards do not really work well…
Today #bowelbear Hope met her new companion #bowelbear Dylan, and could we have the first #bowelbear romance? These two bears are happily settled with Helen Johnson, who is a bowel cancer survivor. She told me that the name Dylan means ray of hope in Irish. It’s been a busy day for the two bears, as
It was almost a year ago to the day that Prince’s spine injury was diagnosed. To hear the news that he has seven slipped discs was devastating, and coming just a few months after losing his mum Storm to lymphoma. Plenty of changes have had to be made to makes things comfortable for Prince and
