‘I had bowel cancer – don’t make my mistake and miss screenings’ [Video]

A former football coach has warned against the dangers of missing a bowel cancer screening test ahead of a charity event in Aberdeen.

Kenny Strachan, 62, who was part of AFC’s Women’s football coaching team before his diagnosis, has been coming to the charity for emotional and physical support since 2022 following life-changing surgeries.

He will share his experience at Clan’s Bowel Cancer Awareness event from 10am – 12pm on Saturday April 27, at Clan House in Aberdeen as part of the charity’s activity during Bowel Cancer Awareness month.

Kenny, who also coached Scotland’s U17’s team for seven years, is now cancer free but has struggled to return to work following his surgeries and credits Clan for helping him to turn his life around.
