“In December 2023, we lost our darling Ben at 36 years old to bowel cancer. Ben was the older brother to Chris, and left behind a beautiful wife, and two young boys. Ben had always wanted to do a half marathon and was training for it before he got sick, so it felt right to run it for him. It was very emotional throughout the race, but we knew he was pushing us through. We miss him so much!” ~ Luke, Chris, Liz and Joanna.


If you were inspired by Luke’s, Chris’, Liz’s and Joanna’s awareness and fundraising efforts and would like to support Bowel Cancer Australia through a community fundraiser, please get in touch with us through our webform.
