Find out how you can support Bowel Cancer UK's 'Never too young campaign.  

Never Too Young is leading change for younger bowel cancer patients. The campaign is giving younger patients a voice and changing clinical practice and policy to stop bowel cancer in people under 50.

Every year 2,400 younger people are diagnosed with bowel cancer in the UK. While this is only five per cent of those diagnosed, this number is slowly increasing. Our research has shown that younger bowel cancer patients have a very different experience of diagnosis, treatment and care.

Since they launched the Never Too Young campaign in 2013, they have made much progress, including to change GP referral guidelines to include younger people for the first time. 

Please support the Bowel Cancer UK charity in any way that you can. You can find out more about them from their website or Facebook page.  ​

    Blog - Never too Young

    This blog is to carry on Marty's fighting spirit and help raise awareness of bowel cancer to others. It is also a place for you to share any of the things you have done or are doing in memory of him.
    ​

    Bowel cancer is the second biggest cancer killer in the UK but it shouldn’t be. Bowel cancer is treatable and curable especially if diagnosed early.

    Marty always wanted to help others and you can help keep his memory alive by continuing his wish to make a difference to others by telling all your friends and family the symptoms of Bowel Cancer.
