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 40%, 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

Ovarian cancer accounts for 204,000 new cancer cases and 125,000 deaths per year worldwide and is the fourth most common cancer in women. This reflects the generally late diagnosis and the frequent development of drug-resistant cancer cells. These are problems than need to be tackled head-on. Ovarian cancer action is committed to improving survival for women with ovarian cancer through research, awareness and giving a voice.

Between 17th May and 24th May 2008 Euan Stronach, a cancer scientist from the Ovarian cancer action Research Centre at the Hammersmith hospital London, is going to ride over 3200 miles around the UK coastline on his motorbike, in order to raise money and awareness for the charity. He will be joined at several points along the way by various like-minded biking fools.

The ride will take in the most southerly (Lizard point), westerly (Ardnamurchan point), northerly (Dunnet head) and easterly (Lowestoft) points on the UK mainland plus the conventional stops at Land's End and John O' Groats. It's expected to involve 8 consecutive days of around 12hrs/day riding. Better get a comfy saddle then!
