Lynn Faulds Wood sadly died at the age of 72 from a stroke today. The former Watchdog presenter battled cancer twice before she died and used her experience to help others who were diagnosed with the disease.
She bravely got through a diagnosis of skin cancer and another of cancer in the bowel. After Lynn was diagnosed with bowel cancer at the age of 41 she went on a mission to educate people about their "guts" as she felt the information she was fed was not good enough.
She became the founder of the charity Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign and produced a leaflet with information to advise people on how to look out for signs of bowel cancer and how to self test before visiting a GP.
