I hope you don’t mind the message ♥️🌻🥺

— I’m reaching out to ask for your help with something deeply personal and potentially life-saving. We’ve launched a UK Parliament petition in memory of a loved one in the family Cheryl, who tragically lost her life to bowel cancer.

We’re campaigning to lower the screening age to 30 and increase funding for earlier diagnosis, which could save so many others. We’ve already seen an outpouring of support of over 40K signatures on the change org but these cannot be transferred and now we’re trying to reach 100,000 signatures so it can be debated in Parliament.

If you feel able to share this on your platform, it would mean the world — not just to us, but to the many lives this could help save. Even a quick share or mention in your stories could make a massive difference. 🙏

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this. Your voice could truly help bring change.

I have signed it. In memory of Karl, the husband of a friend of mine who died very young from bowel cancer. He left a widow and three little children.
