"My battle with stage 3 bowel cancer started in November 2022 where I was diagnosed with this crappy disease. Many months of radiotherapy and chemotherapy (and over 700 pills, scans and blood tests) has put me on the long journey to recovery.
I'm now on the road to recovery. I finally got the good news in July that I beat Cancer! Bowel Cancer is the deadliest disease for Australians aged 25-44.
My sister's Maureen and Kathleen were super determined to run (and walk) the city2surf with me and raise funds for Bowel Cancer Australia who have played a pivotal part in providing me with support, guidance and a safe space to talk about this sh*tty illness (pun intended)." ~ Mark.
