Stop Bowel Cancer
Nadia Chandler with #bowelbear Bobby

Let me introduce to #bowelbear Bobby who is nicely settled at his new home with Nadia Chandler. Nadia was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer in February 2017, and I am very happy to say is currently cancer free. She is going to take Bobby along with her to various places, so I am looking forward to seeing their photos. 

#bowelbear

The idea behind #bowelbear is to help raise awareness about bowel cancer, which is the second highest cancer killer in the UK with 16,000 patients dying each year. However if detected early at stage 1 it can be successfully treated in over 90% of cases. At the late stage 4 this figure drops dramatically to just 7%, so improving early diagnosis rates is vital. 

All proceeds raised from sales of #bowelbear are donated to Bowel Cancer UK, and they are available to buy in the shop.
