Matt Dawson MBE, the official Matt Dawson website,Beating Bowel Cancer

Matt is proud to be the patron of Beating Bowel Cancer.

Matt is very proud to be the patron of the charity Beating Bowel Cancer, a charity that works hard to raise awareness of a cancer that kills 50 people everyday, with the under 35's worst hit.

Matt has recently been involved in the BE LOUD! BE CLEAR! cmpaign, which aims at shouting out about a cancer that is often ignored by men and women alike. Here's what Matt had to say about the campaign and bowel cancer.

“BE LOUD! BE CLEAR! is a fun campaign that gets across a serious message – we all need to be LOUD about the UK’s second biggest cancer killer, and know that symptoms such as a persistent change in your bowel habits or bleeding from your bottom should not be ignored. I lost my granddad to bowel cancer and my mother was also recently diagnosed, so I’m fully behind Beating Bowel Cancer and the fantastic work they do to raise awareness.”
