He tackled his illness with tremendous courage, unwavering humour and an optimism that has become a lifelong inspiration to us all. This year a group of approx 50 fundraisers will be talking part in our 12 mile peak district walk, a 450 mile bike ride from the north sea to the atlantic ocean and also pete and gaff will be doing the London marathon, the money raised over the 6 previous bike rides and walks enabled us to by equipment for a local hospital in Wolverhampton that had treated and cared for Bijay.

Genetic clues of bowel cancer

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK, with over 41,000 people diagnosed every year. Professor Malcolm Dunlop is comparing the genetics of people with bowel cancer to healthy people to identify the culprit genes. His results could help us detect bowel cancer earlier, when treatment is more likely to be successful.
