Dermot's favourite book is To Kill a Mockingbird

Dermot O'Leary, Frank Skinner, Frank Turner and Jane Asher are just a few of the celebrities urging you to help raise funds for Bowel Cancer UK.

This October they want you to dig out your favourite books and get involved in the Big Book Swap.

TV presenter Dermot says: "It's a cliché but To Kill a Mockingbird is my favourite book and features my greatest fictional hero of all time. It is a coming of age, moralistic tale of always doing the right thing."

Hosting a book swap is easy. Having one at home is the perfect opportunity to catch up with friends or why not get together with work colleagues? Get everyone to make a donations and then pass on the proceeds to Bowl Cancer UK.

Debroah Alsina, chief executive, says: "Many of the patients and families we have helped have shared how certain books have changed their lives. They have drawn strength from them and reading has helped them to stay positive during their treatment. So get hold of your favourite book, organise a Big Book Swap in October and raise funds for Bowel Cancer UK at the same time."
