Fundraisers from Eastcote to Brew Together to stop people dying of bowel cancer
A group of friends from
Eastcote and Ruislip are organising a
Brew Together fundraising event on 12th October to raise funds for
Bowel Cancer UK, to raise awareness to help save lives. The group are led by Gina Wallis, 60, who was diagnosed with bowel cancer last year.
Gina Wallis (pictured) said: “
I had a Bowel tumour last year and was one of the lucky ones as it was caught early but i know so many are not so lucky. I would really like to raise awareness and highlight this Cancer as like all cancers if caught early enough can save lives and i would like to help raise money for research to help others.Let’s all help to kick this awful disease and try and make a difference to somebody even if only one person acts and gets checked this will make a difference but hopefully together we can help more than one person. There are so many people living with bowel cancer and that makes me want to help more.”
