'Better to have an awkward conversation with your GP than a tragic conversation with your family.' - Ant

Josh and Ant chat with Stephanie around the importance of raising bowel cancer awareness and the difficulty and pain of losing their loved ones far too young - Josh’s brother Mitch and Ant’s friend Dean.

Both long-time supporters of Bowel Cancer Australia’s Decembeard campaign, Josh and Ant discuss the positive impact of honouring their friend and brother through their fundraising initiatives and urge others to have the conversation around bowel cancer awareness.

“If you tell one person, it’s like a tree as each person shares the message, the tree continues to sprout.” - Mitch

This episode is a heartwarming nod to Dean and Mitch, as Ant and Josh honour them both through their fundraising and awareness initiatives.
