ABOUT BOWEL CANCER

Bowel cancer is Australia's second biggest cancer killer.

It can develop without symptoms, but if detected early it can be successfully treated. If you are aged 45 – 74, you can take a life-saving FREE bowel screening test, sent to you from the Australian Government.

“Please do this test as soon as it arrives. It might just save your life.”

Gavin Wanganeen,
Talking Sh!t Ambassador.

THE TALKING SH!T TOUR 2023

Our Talking Sh!t Ambassadors Merv Hughes and Gavin Wanganeen toured across Australia, promoting the importance of 50-74 year olds (now 45-74 year olds) completing their bowel screening test when it arrives FREE in the mail from the Australian Government.

Over four months, Merv and Gavin and the Jodi Lee Foundation team connected with almost 800 locals in Moree, Port Augusta, Mount Isa and Darwin. We talked about all things bowel cancer, and in particular getting your bowel screening test done and sending it back and just how important this is for the early detection of bowel cancer.
