CARE ABOUT YOUR BOWEL
June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, a Bowel Cancer Australia
initiative to raise awareness of Australia’s second deadliest
cancer and raise funds for the leading community-funded
charity dedicated to prevention, early diagnosis, research,
quality treatment and the best care for everyone affected by
bowel cancer.
A highlight of Bowel Cancer Awareness Month is Red Apple Day
(Wednesday, 19 June 2019), where Australians are encouraged
to support the vital work of Bowel Cancer Australia through
the purchase of a Bowel Cancer Awareness Ribbon and apple
themed fundraising activities.
Bowel cancer claims the lives of 103 Australians every week
(5,375 people a year) - but it’s one of the most treatable types of
cancer if found early.
While the risk of bowel cancer increases significantly with age,
the disease doesn’t discriminate, affecting men and women,
young and old.
1 in 13 Australians will be diagnosed with bowel cancer in their BOWEL CANCER
lifetime. 15,604 Australians will be diagnosed with the disease
this year. THE FACTS
