Raising money for

Ovarian cancer action

Charity Registration No. 1109743

Ovarian cancer action is the leading ovarian cancer charity in the UK. Ovarian cancer action funds research into ovarian cancer, raises awareness of the disease and gives a voice to women affected by it. Ovarian cancer kills 12 women a day in the UK, and survival rates are low at 30%, compared to 80% for breast cancer. We urgently need to raise £10million for the new Ovarian cancer action research centre, at Imperial College London – the UK’s first ever research facility entirely dedicated to ovarian cancer. Thanks to a large increase in research spending on breast cancer, survival rates have increased by over 20% in the last decade. Ovarian cancer action believes that, with the same input, we can make a similar impact on ovarian cancer.

My story

Thanks for coming to the fundraising page of my 40 Beers at 40 effort to raise money for Ovarian Cancer Action. Hopefully, this means you are about to make a donation...

Donating through this site is simple, fast and secure. It is also an efficient way to sponsor me: Ovarian Cancer Action will receive your money fast. And if you are a UK taxpayer, remmber to Gift Aid your donation so that an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

All donations will be welcome, obviously, but if you're wondering how much to give, I've created a handy guide. Of course, none of the money is going to my malted habit -- I'm buying the beers myself -- but you might want to sponsor me on a symbolic "per beer" basis. Here are four suggested giving levels, based on the four economic classes of people I know:

Occupation Per beer donation (€)* Total (€)*

lab animals, NGO interns 0.10 4.00

people with crap jobs 0.50 20.00

people with good jobs 1.00 40.00

people too wealthy to work 2.00 80.00

But, again, all donations will be warmly welcome. So please sponsor me now, and many thanks for your support.

Regards,

Andrew

* one euro (€) is now about 0.70 pounds sterling or US$1.40
