"It has been almost 10 years since my husband Steve was diagnosed with Stage 3 rectal cancer (at age 37), and we thought what better way to celebrate than to raise money for Bowel Cancer Australia by shaving our heads!
Since diagnosis, he has had two stints of chemo, one of radiation, 3 hospital stays and 2 major surgeries, removing over 30cm of bowel.
We hope the money we raised will help with treatment options for others, and earlier detection/testing!" ~ Katie.
Katie shares her personal story and her reasons for getting hairy to help raise hair-wareness that you’re never too young to have bowel cancer.
