The Issue

In July 2021, Like many in Ireland Linda Burnett was diagnosed with Stage 4 bowel cancer. In Ireland the current screening age for bowel cancer is for people aged 60 to 69. Linda and Ed who run the Just The Twomor of Us podcast want to lobby the Irish government to lower the screening age. This would mean that bowel cancer would be screened for in earlier ages and many cases would be caught before they go to stage 4 like Lindas. Please support our petition with a signature.
