This February, my young 87yr of age Dad and myself are taking on Move Your Butt for Bowel Cancer. Please help us to raise money to support vital patient services and fund research to stop bowel cancer taking the people we love. - Every month, 100 Kiwis lose their lives to bowel cancer. - Every dollar raised for Bowel Cancer New Zealand will fund essential services for patients and survivors, such as counselling, physiotherapy, and financial assistance. We are asking for your help and donation no matter how big or small. It will help us reach our $100 fundraising goal and provide life-changing support and research to help those affected by bowel cancer. It takes a minute to donate, and your generosity will make a real difference to the lives of those who need it most. Dad and I thank you in advance for your support! 🧡

This February, i’m taking part in Move Your Butt 🍑 for Bowel Cancer to walk 100km to show my support to those who have been touched by this disease, whether personally or through the experience of a friend or family member. I'm taking on this challenge in memory of my maternal grandmother 🥀 who died from bowel cancer in her mid-50s, for by father who was lucky to beat bowel cancer by early detection some 15 years ago 👏 and in support of my father-in-law who is on a journey to kick bowel cancer in the butt as we speak 💪 My goal is to raise funds for Bowel Cancer New Zealand to raise awareness, support patients and fund research to stop bowel cancer taking the people we love💜 If you have symptoms, take them seriously. Even if you don’t, take advantage of the screening available when it’s available to you - there are plenty of people that have no symptoms though are identifed from screening. And if you think you are too young, think again. There are a growing number of stories out there of people under 40 being diagnosed and dying from Bowel Cancer. I would highly recommend the podcast Jo vs. Cancer. In this podcast my brave friend from Cromwell who passed away in 2023 shares snippets of her journey with the honesty and humour that many people really need - https://interactives.stuff.co.nz/2022/jo-vs-cancer-podcast/ Please support my 100km walk by making a donation to my fundraising page: Also, shout out if you want to go for a walk with me, the company is always welcome! Let’s go. We start tomorrow!!

My wife, Catherine, was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer in June 2017. Her prognosis was "10 days, maybe 3 weeks".

She died in July 2020, just 2 weeks after our 20th anniversary and 2 weeks before her 44th birthday.
