I’D LIKE to let your readers know about a new charity initiative called the Veg Pledge.
All you need to do is give up meat and fish for a week and donate what you would have spent to support the charity Beating Bowel Cancer.
Learning to live without meat occasionally could be good for your health, as there is strong evidence to suggest eating too much red and processed meat is one factor that can increase the risk of developing the disease.
Beating Bowel Cancer provides vital practical and emotional support for everyone affected by bowel cancer.
We’re here to help beat bowel cancer but we rely on donations, so we’re asking people to make one lifestyle change for seven days to help us continue our work.
To sign up for the Veg Pledge visit beatingbowelcancer.org.
