We are partnering with the Sydney Swans, Carlton, Brisbane Lions and North Melbourne this June and July to raise awareness of Australia’s second biggest cancer killer.

Behinds can be the difference between winning and losing at footy. But behinds matter for your health too. In Rounds 14, 15 and 19 The Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation will show AFL fans just how important taking a simple screening test can be for your health.

Founder and CEO of The Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation, Nick Lee said, “The more people talk about bowel cancer, the more lives will be saved. We want to raise awareness around bowel cancer can and show that it can be a preventable disease when detected early.”

Every week bowel cancer kills as many Aussies as breast cancer, ovarian cancer and cervical cancer combined. The estimated number of new cases of bowel cancer diagnosed this year is predicted to reach 16,682. That’s much to high when if detected early up to 90% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated or even prevented.

Taking a simple screening test – recommended from age 50 – is the easiest way to make bowel cancer disappear.

The more tests that are taken, the less we’ll see of bowel cancer.

The Sydney Swans, Carlton, Brisbane Lions and North Melbourne are helping The Jodi Lee Bowel Cancer Foundation empower people to take active steps to prevent bowel cancer and
lead healthy lives.
