BOWEL CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

STARTS TODAY!

 

Bowel Cancer Australia’s signature event raising awareness of
Australia’s second deadliest cancer and funds for Australia’s leading community-funded national charity.

 

 

  • Bowel cancer is the deadliest cancer for people aged 25-54.

 

  • 1-in-16 Australians will be diagnosed with bowel cancer in their lifetime.

 

  • Almost 99% of bowel cancer cases can be successfully treated, when detected early.

  • A new partnership between Kleenex® and Bowel Cancer Australia is transforming the humble loo roll into a bowel cancer awareness game changer, prompting Aussies to use toilet time to break the taboo and check their poo.

 

  • Together, we're helping Aussies get comfy with checking their poo and spotting signs of bowel cancer early.
