Cancer campaign

A new campaign to raise awareness of the symptoms of bowel cancer has been launched by Beating Bowel Cancer

The condition is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK, claiming 50 lives every day, although it has a very high cure rate if diagnosed early.

The charity’s campaign named “Tackle it” is aimed particularly at men, by advertising in football and rugby match day programmes.

It is hoped the campaign will inspire men to visit the GP if experiencing symptoms.
