Sister's heartbreaking warning as 'fitness fanatic' brother dies within a year of diagnosis that 'shook us all'

A grieving sister is warning others after her fitness fanatic brother died within a year of a devastating diagnosis. Benjamin Millard - or Benj to his family and friends - used to go to the gym twice a day and was seemingly fit and healthy.

But Benj's world was turned upside down when he was diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer aged 33. He was given a poor prognosis and died just eight months later, Lancs Live reports.

Now, his sister Abby Morris is spreading awareness of the disease in an effort to try and prevent more loved ones from dying. After setting up charity The Bowel Movement in Benj's memory, Abby has produced a film sharing her brother's story.
