Let’s have (virtual) brunch and support people living with or beyond bowel cancer and their families.
Staying connected and feeling supported is more important now than ever. So make a cuppa, cut yourself a slice of banana bread or rustle up some avo on toast, and have a chat online with your friends, family and colleagues through Facetime, WhatsApp, Skype, Messenger, Zoom or House Party.
Donate the cost of your weekend brunch, morning coffee or afternoon cuppa to Bowel Cancer Australia to ensure we can continue to support people living with bowel cancer during these uncertain times.
