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

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Some of you will now that I'm affectionately know as "Tin man" at work ........not quite an Iron Man. I'm planning on doing my first Triathlon on the 28th June 2008 at Market Bosworth, leicestershire. Open water swim 750m in very cold water, followed by 20K bike ride followed by 5K run/shuffle to the finish.

To spur me on, I'm hoping to raise some money for Oviarian Cancer action, a very worthy research fund. Ovarian Cancer, is known as the "silent killer" with more research into this disease we can help save lives in the future.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ovarian cancer action gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
