Thank you for continuing to share the petition. It's incredibly important to keep pushing for real change. Bowel cancer doesn't just affect older people, it affects young adults too. If we can catch cancer earlier on, it gives the younger patient a better chance of surviving.  Over the weekend I have written to both the Health Secretary and NHS England asking for them to reconsider the screening age to younger age groups. The letters have all been recorded and sent via royal mail. Things cross I get a satisfactory response. It would be lovely if they immediately agreed for change. However I think it will take alot more campaigning to reach this point. So I am appealing to anyone reading this. Please feel free to write to  The health Secretary and NHS England and share your views with them too. The more we push for change, the better.

Thank you so much and please keeping sharing online xx
