I’m taking part in this event as part of Team Cavpower to raise awareness about preventing bowel cancer.
Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world
Bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death in Australia, after lung cancer
This year an estimated 15,500 people will be diagnosed with bowel cancer
Bowel cancer is the leading cancer killer in people aged 25 – 34
Every 2 hours, bowel cancer claims a life. That’s around 100 people every week or over 5,300 each year
Bowel cancer is the second most common cancer after prostate cancer for men, and breast cancer for women
Detected early, 99% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated or even prevented
Fewer than 40% of bowel cancers are detected at an early stage when the likelihood of remaining cancer free is high. Bowel cancers diagnosed at a late-stage (stage 4) can be treated, but the likelihood of remaining cancer free for the five years following successful treatment is significantly lower at 13%
