Here is the #bowelbear photo gallery. I am putting all the best images that I receive into this gallery, with at least one from everyone who sends me a picture, and there have been lots of great photos sent to me already. The stop bowel cancer bears are helping to raise awareness about bowel cancer, which is the second highest cancer killer in the UK. 16,000 people die each year, including my mum in 2016.

However, if detected at the early stage 1, bowel cancer can be successfully treated in over 90% of cases. This figure drops dramatically to just 7% at the late stage 4. At the moment only 15% of cases are diagnosed at stage 1, so in order to improve survival rates more cases need to be detected at stage 1. The teddies are on sale in the shop, and all proceeds raised are donated to Bowel Cancer UK. Buy a bear and start sending those photos in. Also, post all your photos on social media and remember to use the #bowelbear hashtag.
