Meet our Never Too Young ambassadors

Five incredible people who’ve shared their journeys to help raise awareness, break stigma, and inspire others to take action.

Portrait of Genevieve

Ambassador

Genevieve

Genevieve was fit, active and teaching spin and Pilates when she was diagnosed with bowel cancer at just 39.

Her experience challenged the assumption that being young and healthy means you’re safe from bowel cancer.

By sharing her story, Genevieve hopes to raise awareness of bowel cancer in younger people and encourage others to recognise the signs and seek help when something doesn’t feel right.

Her message is clear: don’t ignore symptoms, and don’t assume you’re too young for bowel cancer.

Portrait of Jo

Ambassador

Jo

Jo was diagnosed with bowel cancer at just 45, turning her world upside down.

She’s sharing her experience to help others understand the impact of a diagnosis at a younger age and the importance of recognising symptoms early.

Through her story, Jo hopes to encourage people to listen to their bodies, speak up about changes and seek help when something doesn’t feel right.

Her message is an important one: don’t ignore the signs. You’re never too young for bowel cancer.

Portrait of Barry

Ambassador

Barry

Barry was diagnosed with bowel cancer at just 43, after going to hospital initially thinking he had gallstones.

With a young family and a career to build, his diagnosis came as a shock.

By sharing his experience, Barry hopes to raise awareness of bowel cancer in younger people and encourage others to recognise the signs and seek medical advice if something doesn’t feel right.

His story is a reminder not to dismiss symptoms or put off getting checked.

Portrait of Rebecca

Ambassador

Rebecca

Rebecca lost her sister, Aimee-Rose, to bowel cancer at just 32. Her mum also died from the disease in her 40s.

Having experienced the devastating impact of bowel cancer on her family, Rebecca is sharing Aimee-Rose's story to help raise awareness and encourage others to recognise the signs.

She hopes that by speaking openly about her sister's experience, more people will understand that bowel cancer can affect younger people and that knowing the symptoms matters.

Rebecca’s message is simple: help spread the word, trust your instincts and never think you’re too young.

Never Too Young ambassador

Sua

Sua’s experience of bowel cancer highlights the importance of listening to your body and speaking up when something doesn’t feel right.

He’s sharing his story to help others understand that bowel cancer can affect younger people, too, and that persistent symptoms deserve attention.

Sua hopes his story encourages others to advocate for their health, ask questions and keep seeking answers when they know something isn’t right.

His message: take your symptoms seriously. You’re never too young.
