A group of paramedics and an Emergency Department consultant will be running the Guernsey marathon on Sunday for Bowel Cancer Guernsey.
Bowel Cancer Guernsey was chosen as it has special significance because one of their colleagues has personally benefited from the charity’s support
The team, ‘Five Vital Signs’, comprising of paramedics Ross Senior, Steve Domaille, Dom Fletcher, Andy Adam and Dr Mat Dorrian, is taking part in the marathon relay around the 26.2 mile course.
Ross Senior said: “Taking part in the Guernsey Marathon as a joint ambulance and Emergency Department team is a great way to demonstrate the close partnership we share in caring for our community. Supporting Bowel Cancer Guernsey is particularly meaningful to us, as we’ve seen first-hand the difference the charity makes to patients and their families. We’re proud to run together for such an important cause.”
Dr Mat Dorian said: “Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer in Guernsey, but the good news is if it can be diagnosed in the early stages it can be successfully treated. Bowel Cancer Guernsey has done a great job in raising this awareness and we are pleased to be able to support them to do more in the Bailiwick.”
Dr Dorian added: “The symptoms can include a change in bowel habits, which might be loose stools, diarrhoea or constipation; rectal bleeding; unexplained weight loss; extreme unexplained tiredness; persistent abdominal pain or a lump. The symptoms can also be similar to a number of other conditions, so it is important to get yourself checked.”
