About us

Our vision is a future where nobody dies of bowel cancer but we can't achieve this alone.

Bowel Cancer UK is the UK's leading bowel cancer charity and we're determined to save lives and improve the quality of life of everyone affected by bowel cancer.

Bowel cancer is the UK's second biggest cancer killer with over 16,500 people dying annually of a disease that is preventable, treatable and curable. We're determined to change that. The funds raised for the Great North Run will help us to provide support and information to patients and their families, enable us to fund and support research into bowel cancer and allow us to campaign for early diagnosis and best treatment and care for all.
