Blue Zebra Insurance

"An apple a day....."

Hi there!

On Wednesday, 19th June, 2024 Blue Zebra Insurance will host a morning tea in the Sydney office to raise awareness of bowel cancer. 

Did you know?

Bowel cancer affects men and women, young and old.

Australia has one of the highest rates of bowel cancer in the world; 1 in 15 Australians will develop the disease in their lifetime.

Bowel cancer is Australia's second deadliest cancer.

Around 30% people who develop bowel cancer have either a hereditary contribution, family history or a combination of both. The other 70% of people have no family history of the disease and no hereditary contribution.

The risk of developing bowel cancer rises sharply and progressively from age 50, but the number of Australians under age 50 diagnosed with bowel cancer has been increasing steadily. That’s why it’s important to know the symptoms of bowel cancer and have them investigated if they persist for more than two weeks.

Almost 99% of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully when detected early. 

We are kindly asking for;

1) Donation of morning tea and a

2) Donation (no matter how big or small) to support Bowel Cancer Australia, which is a 100% community-funded national charity dedicated to prevention, early diagnosis, research, quality treatment and care, so everyone affected by bowel cancer can live their best life.

Thanks so much for your support!
