#bowelbear Charlie went inside his first football ground today at Northampton Town FC. An attempt to get into Elland Road, the home of Leeds United, failed before Christmas. Not to be deterred however, we had a break for lunch outside the PTS Academy Stadium in Northampton, and decided to try our luck. We received a
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
Here is #bowelbear Betty at Birmingham Town Hall attending the Holy Holy gig tonight. Taking the bears to gigs is a great way for getting decent photos with them. It will also be fascinating to see just how many gigs the bears can get to… Thanks so much to Lizzie Hulme for her support, and

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
Here is a first peek at what is going to provide the basis for my new bowel cancer fundraising book cover design. Last week I met Greg Gilbert and Stacey Heale as part of the book in Southampton. I picked up this fantastic piece of art from Greg, which I am going to use as
