Get ready to join us in June for
our signature awareness & fundraising event 



Bowel cancer is Australia's second deadliest cancer, claiming 101 lives every week.

Over 40 Australians are diagnosed with the disease every day.


While 99% of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated when detected early, fewer than 50% are.

There are many ways to get involved,so let's see what we can accomplish together!

We are committed to championing what matters most to people affected by bowel cancer. Learn more about how, with your support, we're making an impact as the leading national community-funded charity dedicated to prevention, early diagnosis, research, quality treatment and the best care for everyone affected by bowel cancer.
 

Your voice is important in helping to raise awareness of bowel cancer.
 
You can help spread the word by sharing our free awareness resources with your friends, family and colleagues. If you’re want to create even more noise, gather a crowd, either in-person or via Zoom, and arrange a Rear in Gear workplace or community presentation.
 
Don’t forget to stay connected via our social channels to share, regram and tweet our social posts to help challenge perceptions and motivate action.
 
If not you, then who? Submit and share your lived-experience to find strength in connections, help build communities through shared experiences and create a powerful voice for change.

 

Now is the time to get creative and start planning your fundraiser. Whether its brunch; a trivia night or sporting event - the options are endless, and ideas only limited by your imagination!

Why not take your fundraising online? Create a page, invite friends and family to support your event, share your progress as you track your target, as well as view messages of support.

Raise over $200 and we’ll send a FREE pair of our stylish bum shorts to help you stand out in a crowd. 

 

Red Apple Day is Bowel Cancer Australia's Annual Giving Day, when we encourage everyone to support the vital work of our charity.

Bowel Cancer Awareness Ribbon in hands

A simple way to help show your support this June is to wear a Bowel Cancer Awareness Ribbon or even better, grab yourself a display box of 30 to sell to friends and colleagues .
 
Alternatively, send, dedicate, or buy a virtual ribbon which will be displayed on our virtual apple tree.

 

While lowering screening guidelines will be one step forward for people aged 45 and older, it doesn’t address the rise in young-onset bowel cancer, which is the deadliest cancer for Australians aged 25-44.⁠

A 45-year-old today has the same bowel cancer risk a 50-year-old had 10 years ago.⁠ Knowing your family history is also vital. You may need to begin screening even earlier depending on your individual circumstances.⁠
