Charlene White

ITN presenter Charlene who comes from South London is deeply dedicated to raising awareness of bowel cancer. Charlene has taken part in our Spring Step 5k walk and done numerous media interviews for us.

Charlene said: "Becoming a Patron for the charity means a lot to me. I lost my mother to bowel cancer when I was 21, after quite a few years of illness - so I am passionate about the issues and the charity. So many people are still so unaware of the illness despite someone dying every 30 minutes of bowel cancer."

"That's why more people need to learn to spot the signs early - as it's highly treatable. I know we're constantly told that we should be eating healthily - but simple changes to your diet and lifestyle CAN save your life. And it's important that we all understand that...before it's too late", added Charlene.
