<div>Why I Created Fit4Bowel24
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>At 28 years old, I heard the words no one ever expects to hear:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>“You have stage 3 bowel cancer.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I was young, fit, active, and living my life with no reason to believe cancer was even on the radar. But suddenly everything changed. Overnight I went from planning my future to fighting for it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Chemotherapy, surgeries, ileostomy bag, fear, resilience, and survival became my everyday reality. I faced it mostly on my own, far from my family, but with an inner strength I didn’t know I had. Along the way, I also had the heartbreak of losing friends — young, vibrant people just like me — to this disease. Their faces and their stories stay with me. Some didn’t get the chance to keep fighting. I carry them with me in everything I do.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>That’s why Fit4Bowel24 was born.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It’s not just an event, it’s a reminder that life is fragile, that early-onset bowel cancer is real, that young people do get bowel cancer, and that awareness and research save lives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This 24-hour fitness event brings together teams of legends who will keep a cardio machine moving for 24 straight hours. It’s about endurance, community, and honouring every person touched by bowel cancer — including those who didn’t get a second chance.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>All proceeds from this event will be donated to Bowel Cancer Australia, proudly supporting research into early-onset bowel cancer and helping many Australians diagnosed with bowel cancer each year.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bowel cancer is the second deadliest cancer in Australia, yet one of the most treatable when detected early.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If you can not attend or participate on the day, please consider donating, no matter the size as it can directly support:
</div>
<div>• early detection and prevention research
</div>
<div>• support services for patients and families
</div>
<div>• advocacy for young-onset bowel cancer
</div>
<div>• honouring those we’ve lost
</div>
<div>• giving hope to those still fighting
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This cause is personal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fight is ongoing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And together, we can make a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for reading my story, for supporting this event, and for standing alongside every Australian impacted by bowel cancer.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With love and strength,
</div>
<div>Vanessa
</div>
