Break the poo taboo!

Exciting to see bowel cancer symptom messaging beginning to roll out nationally on Kleenex Complete Clean and Kleenex Luxury Quilts Toilet Paper.

A wonderful collaboration between Bowel Cancer Australia and Kleenex Australia.

If you spot one of our new bowel cancer awareness packages in-store please do take a photo and share with us by tagging @BowelCancerAustralia #BowelCancerAustralia #BreakThePooTaboo

“I looked well and people were assessing the outside of me rather than actually looking at what the results were saying.”

A long-time bowel cancer advocate, Jodie’s delayed diagnosis was 'explained away' as female related issues, pregnancy and being a young Mum.

It wasn’t until she advocated for herself that she finally got the answer to her ongoing symptoms – Stage 3 bowel cancer.

"Self-advocacy is my big message - if something doesn’t feel right, look right and you’re not happy with the responses you're receiving, you need to find another option."

Are you a kick ass woman living with or beyond bowel cancer, or do you have a female family member or friend who is?
 
In celebration of International Women’s Day (8 March), Bowel Cancer Australia raises awareness of bowel cancer in women and shares empowering stories from Aussie women who are kicking bowel cancer’s butt.

With Decembeard now over for another year, we wanted to extend a very big thank you to everyone who fundraised and donated to help make real change happen.

Whether living with or beyond bowel cancer, or participating in memory or support of a loved one, each participant had their own empowering story to share and very personal reasons for raising awareness and funds for Bowel Cancer Australia.

A massive THANK YOU for helping us to champion what matters most to people impacted by bowel cancer and empowering everyone affected to live their best life.

We look forward to you joining us later this year for Decembeard 2026, pop it in your diary now!
