Scotland has the highest incidence of bowel cancer in Europe and CCC aims to reduce the deaths from bowel cancer through raising awareness of the symptoms, providing authoritative information and campaigning. In order to do this we need the help of individuals in all parts of the country. Perhaps they have been touched by the disease in some way and are willing to assist us in raising awareness of a disease that is still shrouded in embarrassment and fear. The time we ask them to commit is entirely up to them and we can discuss with each individual how they can help. Fundraising volunteers offer vital support to our team across the UK, from cheering on our amazing runners at events to marshalling our walks or attending cheque presentations.
