 | 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 in our virtual apple tree. |
|
 | Know the symptoms and talk to your GP about what's NOT NORMAL. |
|
 | We need your help to raise much-needed funds this Red Apple Day, so we can continue supporting the growing number of Australians affected by bowel cancer and their loved ones. Donate by June 16 and have your gift MATCHED, so your donation will have DOUBLE the impact. Like to become a Red Apple Day Champion? Register your details and we’ll create a dedicated Annual Giving Day fundraising webpage for you. |

 | 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 25-34.
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. |
|
 | Now is the time to get creative and start planning your fundraiser – the options are endless, and ideas are only limited by your imagination!
Why not take your fundraising online? Create a page, invite friends and family to support you, share your progress.
Raise over $200 and you’ll not only be the apple of our eye, we’ll send a FREE pair of bum shorts to help you stand out from the crowd. |
