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

The line dance & rowing fund raising event to remember Gill took place at Bristnall Hall Technology College on 14th November. These two activities were a fitting tribute to our much-loved friend, teacher and "action woman". Approximately 180 students, past students, teachers, friends & family pulled together in the team row and about 85 participated in the line dance.

No one could have anticipated the hundreds of well-wishers who came to support the event, show their respect for Gill and donate money to Ovarian Cancer Action.

All of the sponsor money has now been collected so please make a donation to Ovarian Cancer Action and help us smash our target!
