THERE IS MOORE TO KNOW
The England Football Team is spearheading a drive to raise awareness of bowel cancer, the second most common cause of cancer deaths in the UK, killing 44 people each day.
The campaign ‘There is Moore to know’ features a series of striking and powerful images with stars of the England team, Rio Ferdinand, Michael Carrick, Theo Walcott, David James, Micah Richards and Shaun Wright-Phillips for the Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK.
The Bobby Moore Fund for Cancer Research UK aims to raise awareness of the shocking statistics associated with the disease that killed the former England captain, Bobby Moore aged just 51. The Fund endeavors to make more people aware of the symptoms of the disease and how to best reduce their risk of bowel cancer.
The ‘There is Moore to Know’ campaign features four key themes:
Saving lives - goalkeeper - David James
Lives can be saved if more people know about bowel cancer and can recognise the symptoms of the disease:
Symptoms of bowel cancer
Bleeding from the back passage
A persistent change in bowel habit to looser and more frequent bowel motions
Tummy pain, especially if severe
A lump in your tummy
If you have any of the above for more than four to six weeks, visit your GP
Defend your body – defenders – Rio Ferdinand and Micah Richards
Around two-thirds of bowel cancer cases could be prevented by changes to lifestyle. You can reduce the risk of the disease by being physically active, maintaining a healthy body weight, cutting down on alcohol and eating a healthy, balanced diet.
Pass the message on – midfielders – Michael Carrick and Shaun Wright-Phillips
Encourage family or friends to take part in screening when they are invited and tell them about bowel cancer and the symptoms.
Attack the disease – striker – Theo Walcott
In the 15 years since Bobby Moore died, the Fund has raised over £12 million pounds through a variety of fundraising events and initiatives. Funds are spent on cutting edge research carried out by leading scientists. The players are helping the Bobby Moore Fund raise vital money by donating a proportion of their international match fees.
To find out how you could get involved and to know Moore, visit: www.bobbymoorefund.org and www.cancerhelp.org
