Mindy R, Never2Young

“I recently gathered a group of strong, brave women who were all diagnosed with bowel cancer under the age of 50. Each of them has a story that challenges the outdated idea that this disease only affects older people.

You don’t have to be over 50.

You’re never too young for bowel cancer.

Australia has the highest rate of early-onset bowel cancer in the world, and yet many people are still being told they’re ‘Too young’ to worry.

These women showed up to say: this matters. Their stories deserve to be heard. Their symptoms should have been taken seriously.

If something doesn’t feel right — speak up. Push for answers. Early detection saves lives.” ~ Mindy.
