Cervical and breast cancer are the two most common cancers among women, and are two of the top three cancers in both men and women in Papua New Guinea. There is currently no cervical cancer or breast cancer screening programme in Papua New Guinea.

My sister-in-law and brother-in-law have set up an incredible charity - Women’s Cancer Prevention PNG – which is a UK registered charity aiming to prevent cancer and save lives of women in Papua New Guinea.

I am running Lisbon Marathon to raise money for this brilliant cause. Your donation can go a long way to the fundraising to build the lab where they will carry out the cervical smear testing.
