My Journey with The Bowel Movement
"In the face of adversity, our spirit shines brightest.
We stand united, not defined by the challenges we face, but by the hope we ignite together."
My journey with bowel cancer has been profoundly impacted by the stories and the support of others.
One story that resonates deeply with me is that of Benj Millard.
Benj
Benj was a young, fit, and healthy 33-year-old when he was diagnosed with advanced bowel cancer. His family's fight for him, their unwavering hope in the face of devastating news, and the tragic loss of Benj, deeply touched me.
The Bowel Movement
Benj's family channeled their grief into creating The Bowel Movement, a charity dedicated to raising awareness of bowel cancer in young adults and providing support to those affected. Their mission is to increase knowledge, promote early detection, and offer relief to individuals and families impacted by this disease.
Supporting TBM
Meeting Benj's mother, Josephine, and his sisters, Abby and Steph, has been a source of immense strength for me and my family. Their empathy, understanding, and personal support have been invaluable. I am committed to supporting The Bowel Movement in their mission to ensure that others facing similar challenges receive the same priceless assistance and community outreach.
Powerful Hope
The Bowel Movement's work is driven by a powerful hope: that by raising awareness and promoting early detection, other families can avoid the pain of late diagnosis. They understand that while bowel cancer cannot be eradicated, early intervention can save lives.
My Commitment to TBM
My own experience, particularly the moment described in the BBC article when I faced the possibility of leaving my family, has reinforced my commitment to this cause. The support and understanding I received from The Bowel Movement during that time were invaluable.
