Bowel Cancer Awareness Month (BCAM) kicks off today and runs throughout April. As well as awareness-raising, the month includes a ‘1000 Get Togethers’ fundraising campaign by Colon Cancer Concern (CCC).

Colon Cancer Concern’s ‘1000 Get Togethers’ initiative involves asking 1000 supporters to organise a get-together and raise funds for the charity.

Actress and long-term CCC supporter Honor Blackman is backing the charity’s fundraising campaign. She said: “Taking part in the ‘1000 Get Togethers’ is a perfect way of meeting up with friends and raising money for CCC’s important work.”
