Chris Read

Cricketer Chris has supported the charity since 2007 when he ran the New York Marathon in honour of his first cricket coach, Trevor Ward, who died of the disease. Since becoming a patron Chris has supported the charity in many different ways.

Chris said: "It is an immense honour to have been asked to become a Patron of Bowel Cancer UK. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with all those I have come in contact with at the charity over the past few years and prior to that when I ran the New York marathon. As a Patron I will ensure that together we raise awareness of the disease whenever and wherever possible and that the charity gets all the support it deserves."
