Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

In a moment of complete madness I have decided to run the Reading half marathon on Sunday 29th March.

I am running for Ovarian Cancer Action, a charity very close to my heart. Ovarian cancer kills 12 women a day in the UK, and survival rates are low at 30%. Around one woman in every 48 will develop ovarian cancer over her lifetime. I would really appreciate any donations as they are currently trying to raise enough money to open 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, they can make a similar impact on ovarian cancer.

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!

Thank you so much for your support. Wish me luck!

Ovarian cancer is the biggest gynaecological killer in the UK claiming the life of a woman every 2 hours. Many women still do not know the symptoms leading to late diagnosis. We are determined to drive up survival rates by funding world-class research into causes, treatments and prevention.
