Amelia’s Half Marathon

“You have bowel cancer.” Four words I didn’t expect to hear at the age of 38, 12 months ago today.
 
Those words instantly crippled me with anxiety, fear and sadness as I began a scary and unknown journey. Thankfully, after many scans, ultrasounds, two major operations including a bowel resection, followed by months of bowel recovery, a year later I can happily say I am fully recovered, moving forward and living a healthy and normal life. My cancer was found early, I am one of the lucky ones.
 
On Saturday 5th March, I’ll be running all over cancer and completing a half marathon 21.1km for those who have been touched by bowel cancer, to raise awareness within my community of bowel cancer and to raise vital funds for Bowel Cancer Australia. BCA is the leading community-funded charity dedicated to prevention, early diagnosis, research, quality treatment and the best care for everyone affected by bowel cancer. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me. Xx
