Cancer is something my family have been affected by too many times, including the recent diagnosis of my younger brother Simon who continues to fight bowel cancer.
I recently celebrated my big 4-0 earlier this year and as part of the festivities (or as Sarah says "part of my midlife crisis") I decided to embark on a small adventure across India with 7 close (and equally stupid) friends. Rather than make this a completely self-indulgent trip, and given potential risks associated with driving anything on an Indian road, I thought I would use this opportunity to raise a small amount of cash to support the Jodi Lee Foundation.
For those unfamiliar with the Jodi Lee Foundation, below is an extract from their website:
"Jodi Lee Foundation was established in honour of Jodi Lee, who lost her battle with bowel cancer at age 41. Since 2010 we have been on a mission to empower people to take active steps to prevent bowel cancer, act quickly on symptoms and live healthy lives.
We are a leading voice for bowel cancer prevention. Each year we reach millions of Australians through our national initiatives including our Workplace Prevention Program; campaigns like Trust Your Gut, major fundraising events such as The JLF Trek, PR and a powerful social media voice to raise awareness about bowel cancer."
This is a great cause and will help drive awareness and prevention in a disease that can often be treated if detected early enough.
Please spare whatever change you have or please donate $€£ in lieu of that big 40th present you were planning to gift me....
