I’m taking part in The JLF Trek to raise awareness for the early detection and prevention of bowel cancer.
I'm participating in The JLF Trek SA and raising money for the prevention and early detection of bowel cancer, the second most common cause of cancer-related death in Australia.
The Jodi Lee Foundation is a national bowel cancer prevention charity, reaching millions of Australians each year with their initiatives designed to help save lives.
I would love your support to reach my fundraising goal; any amount you can give is greatly appreciated.

- This year an estimated 15,500 people will be diagnosed with bowel cancer
- Bowel cancer is the leading cancer killer in people aged 25 – 34
- Every 2 hours, bowel cancer claims a life. That’s around 100 people every week or over 5,300 each year
- Bowel cancer is the second most common cancer after prostate cancer for men, and breast cancer for women
- Detected early, 99% of bowel cancers can be successfully treated or even prevented
- Fewer than 40% of bowel cancers are detected at an early stage when the likelihood of remaining cancer free is high. Bowel cancers diagnosed at a late-stage (stage 4) can be treated, but the likelihood of remaining cancer free for the five years following successful treatment is significantly lower at 13%
