April is bowel cancer awareness month. This picture was taken 2 months before Charlotte was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal bowel cancer. GP ignored her symptoms many times said she was too young. Be aware of symptoms to prevent other youngsters dying from this vile disease 💔
2 years ago at 10.45am you took your last breath💔 it feels like yesterday. 2 whole years without you my vivacious, funny, kind caring and very brave Charlotte. Heartbroken forever and miss you every single minute of every day my gorgeous Charlotte May 💔 #bowelcancer#18forever
April is Bowel Cancer awareness month ❤️🩹
This picture of Charlotte was taken just 6 weeks before her horrific and shocking diagnosis of advanced stage 4 bowel cancer with peritoneal spread and to her stomach lining…she was just 17 years old 💔😥
Your never too young 💔
1 week today til my sky dive for Clic Sargent (yes I am absolutely shitting myself) But nothing compared to what our Charlotte went through. The bravest most beautiful soul💖

I’d like Charlottes story to impact the fact she saw her GP as soon as she got tummy and back pains. Devastating being just 17 was against her..she didn’t stand a chance 💔 Stage 4 diagnosis with extensive spread within just weeks and died within just 4 months 💔😢 #nevertooyoung
April is Bowel cancer awareness month 😞 my beautiful daughter Charlotte was diagnosed 2 weeks before her 18th bday 💔 she died 4 months later in May last year 💔 Her last wish was to raise awareness of this horrific disease #bowelcanceruk#nevertooyoung
Today starts the beginning of #bowelcancerawarenessmonth 💟 @bowelcanceruk released findings which show that 42% of us are unaware of the signs of bowel cancer! Help us spread the word and together we can help promote early detection and save lives 💛💜
#FindCharlieKnight can everyone please share-not just in Hampshire-Charlie could have travelled further. I was at school with Charlie’s dad and this is a desperate situation for his family 🙏https://t.co/HnWiZNV6e5

Coronavirus: Belfast Trust cancels urgent cancer surgeries 😭 WTF?
This is utterly inhumane and madness. Where are all the Nightingale hospitals to deal with Covid 19 patients??! https://t.co/bQbWmk6Os7
