Story

As you know, Rose Ellen was diagnosed with Ocular Meanoma in February 2023. This rare Cancer has no cure, she was treated with Proton Beam Therapy in April 2023, which has left her with no sight in that eye, but the tumour is shrinking and she receives regular check ups for spread. Research is ongaoing for a cure, and were grateful for the support she has received from Ocumel, were therefore as a way of raising funds, trking the Camiono de Sanitago and would appreciate your support

OMUK supports hundreds of people each year with calm, trusted information and emotional support. Their helpline, psychological services and community groups provide reassurance at moments when people feel unsure or isolated. They also work with clinicians and policy makers to improve understanding of ocular melanoma and strengthen care across the UK.

Your donation will help OMUK continue this essential work, from expert guidance at diagnosis to support for families adjusting to life with ocular melanoma. Every contribution helps ensure that no one faces this disease without clear information and a supportive community around them.

Thank you for helping me support OMUK.
