Bowel Cancer affects more and more people every year, but the truth is that it’s easy to screen for and cure if caught early enough, all we need is awareness.
The Jodi Lee Foundation was created to promotes bowel cancer awareness, and founder Nick Lee spoke to Tim Brunero about their upcoming Little Black Dress Party.

Imagine losing your partner at 41. What would you do? Would you retreat into your shell and never come out? Or would you strike out into the world determined to stop others suffering the same fate?
The second option is exactly what Nick Lee did when his wife, and mother to his 2 small children, Jodi, passed away from bowel cancer at the age of 41.
He started the Jodi Lee Foundation which aims to raise awareness about bowel cancer. Not only about how more and more people are getting it, but also how easy it is to screen for and to cure.
Nick spoke to Tim Brunero about the Foundation and its aims.

Glenn spoke to Jess Wingard to discuss his discovery and other ways of avoiding the onset of bowel cancer. With 14,000 new diagnoses each year, Jess began by asking Glen how many are diagnosed in South Australia alone.
