Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is an annual initiative of Bowel Cancer Australia running throughout the month of June (1-30 June), to raise public awareness of the disease.

Bowel cancer is the third most common type of newly diagnosed cancer in Australia affecting both men and women almost equally and is Australia’s second biggest cancer killer after lung cancer.

“Bowel cancer claims the lives of 80 Australians every week.”

Fight bowel cancer this June by:

• Donating to the foundation
• Getting a self – awareness ribbon
• Organising a fundraiser
• Connecting with the bowel cancer movement on social media
• Distributing awareness posters and merchandise
