It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Christopher (Chris) Lee.

Chris was the beloved father of our Founder and Chair, Nick Lee OAM, and father-in-law to Jodi, in whose memory the Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation was established.

Chris was a proud and passionate supporter of the Foundation. Over the years, he stood alongside his family at many events, helping to raise awareness about bowel cancer and the importance of early detection — a cause that meant a great deal to him.

In lieu of flowers, and in keeping with Chris’ wishes, donations to the Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation are welcomed as a meaningful way to honour his memory and continue the work he cared so deeply about.

As we share this news, we also acknowledge that today is Father’s Day – a time to reflect on the love, guidance, and legacy of fathers everywhere. We hold space for all those remembering dads who are near, far, or no longer with us.
