Help us towards lowering the national screening age for bowel cancer from 50-30 in Cheryl’s memory! 🥺🌻🤍

[bowelcancerawareness]

I hope you don’t mind the message ♥️🌻🥺

— I’m reaching out to ask for your help with something deeply personal and potentially life-saving. We’ve launched a UK Parliament petition in memory of a loved one in the family Cheryl, who tragically lost her life to bowel cancer.

We’re campaigning to lower the screening age to 30 and increase funding for earlier diagnosis, which could save so many others. We’ve already seen an outpouring of support of over 40K signatures on the change org but these cannot be transferred and now we’re trying to reach 100,000 signatures so it can be debated in Parliament.

If you feel able to share this on your platform, it would mean the world — not just to us, but to the many lives this could help save. Even a quick share or mention in your stories could make a massive difference. 🙏

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Your voice could truly help bring change.

I will sign it however I think more advertising of the fact that anyone, at any age, can buy the test for themselves for less than £100 would be really beneficial.

Many companies do this but this is the one I've used (we have a family history of bc). https://www.check4cancer.com/private-cancer-tests/bowel-cancer

I totally agree! I myself was not aware of those tests that you could buy yourself and I 100% do tell people that now - thankful
for the support ♥️

This test is only available for over 45s.

Signed.So sorry for your loss x

Thank you so so much. ♥️🥺

Sorry for your loss. Signed.

Oh I see that now. Strange. I used to live in Australia (when I was 30) and used to buy tests there so perhaps it's just this company. (I'd still buy them anyhow)
