I am a GP at Pasadena Medical and have both patients and friends affected by bowel cancer. Screening of bowel cancer is important yet often not as frequently discussed as other screening programs. The detection of bowel cancer in younger people (those not in the age group for screening) is challenging and I hope that research will continue to look at better ways to screen and prevent this disease.

I love to run and be active, so a trek to support this foundation is a perfect opportunity also for me to spend time with my amazing running friends. Being active with them keeps my body and mind healthy!
