Two mums who met online have joined forces as part of a brave and determined fight to beat bowel cancer. Emma Campbell and Rebecca Clarke connected within weeks of their diagnosis when they were both aged 36.
The bravery of campaigner, Dame Deborah James, has played a huge part in inspiring the par to take on the life-threatening disease. Teacher Emma found Rebecca after searching #bowelcancer on Instagram.
The mum of three had been diagnosed with stage four cancer in February 2020, while Rebecca discovered she had advanced bowel cancer two weeks earlier. “She became my guardian angel,” Emma told the Mirror.
