The leading national bowel cancer charity in the UK, Colon Cancer Concern, is organizing a carol concert to raise much needed funds. Colorectal cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death and it is the third most common cancer affecting both men and women in the UK, according to CCC. Every year over 30,000 people in this country are diagnosed with this killer disease - that's one person every 15 minutes.

The Christmas carol concert will be held next 16th December at All Saints Church, in Fulham. There will be a reading by Iain Coleman MP and the Addison Singers Chamber Choir will be singing Christmas Motets by Dering, Handl, Philips and Berkeley. Tickets are £10 (£6 concessions), which includes wine and nibbles.

CCC is working towards a greater awareness of the disease, increased access to treatment and services and an end to postcode prescribing. In the UK, there is still considerable ignorance and embarrassment surrounding colorectal cancer, which means that many people are not aware of the symptoms or do not act upon them. In many cases, the disease is at an advanced stage by the time patients are diagnosed and receive treatment, which is particularly alarming when it can be treated so effectively if caught early.
