June is Bowel Cancer Awareness Month, and Bowel Cancer New Zealand has launched an unusual competition.

The 'poo with a view' campaign encourages people to learn the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer and complete a quick online symptom checker. 

Those that take the symptom checker quiz at poowithaview.org.nz will go in the draw to win a poo with one of the best views in New Zealand.

Bowel Cancer NZ CEO Peter Huskinson joined Matt and Tyler to chat about the campaign. 

Huskinson emphasised the life-saving importance of spreading information about the disease, "I mean the key thing to realise is that bowel cancer, what they call early onset bowel cancer, which is cancer, bowel cancer in people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, is actually the number one cause of cancer death in New Zealand."
