Holly's London Marathon page for Ovarian Cancer Action to celebrate Sarah

Holly Neill is raising money for Ovarian Cancer Action

London Marathon 2023 · 23 April 2023 ·

In the UK, a woman dies every two hours from ovarian cancer. As the leading ovarian cancer research charity, we’re working to change that. By finding new and better ways to prevent, treat and detect ovarian cancer, we will ensure a future where no woman dies of ovarian cancer.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am beyond honoured to run the 2023 London Marathon for Ovarian Cancer Action to recognise my incredible friend, Sarah Nally. If you're lucky enough to know Sarah, then you'll agree that life is all the richer for having her as a friend! ✨ Last year, aged only 26, she received the devastating diagnosis of stage 3 low grade serous ovarian cancer. Despite this heartbreak, she has generously and selflessly shared her personal journey to help spread awareness and encourage others to speak up about ignored health issues.

I was invited to run for Ovarian Cancer Action only recently so I'm a few weeks behind marathon training plans and my recent running escapades have been very minimal! 🏃🏼‍♀️ BUT I am so excited and privileged to help raise vital funds to increase awareness and research in to ovarian cancer. This one's for Sarah and every woman who is or will face a similar diagnosis! ❤️
