This month marks Bowel Cancer UK’s Walk Together fundraiser, a five-mile sponsored walk to show support for people undergoing treatment for bowel cancer, to remember loved ones and help stop others dying from the disease.

This year, we asked you to walk together on Saturday, 12 June in your local area, with your household or in small socially distanced groups. By walking on this date, we were united as one bowel cancer community, completing our walks on the same day.

However, if this date didn’t work, you can walk any time in June that suits you.

Bowel cancer is the UK’s fourth most common cancer and the second biggest cancer killer, but it shouldn’t be because it is treatable and curable, especially if diagnosed early.

Please, if you can, join us to Walk Together to help ensure a future where nobody dies of bowel cancer.
