Don’t accept the status quo
We’re Ovarian Cancer Action. A charity dedicated to beating the UK’s most deadly gynaecological disease. Ovarian cancer is a serial killer. It claims the life of another woman every two hours.
At the moment the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancers lags behind high profile diseases like prostate or breast cancer. And we think this is unacceptable. That’s why we’re on a mission to fund research that saves lives.
We’re a small team but we pack a big punch. We find and fund the innovators who will help us break this cancer. From the scientists working on the latest breakthroughs in the lab, to the people raising the vital funds we need to make our vision a reality.
We’re here to champion the cause and bring people together to overcome a disease that strikes at the heart of what it means to be a woman.
We’re driven by a simple belief; we’re defined in life by our actions, not our words.
We want to mobilise thousands of people to get up and act. To say this isn’t good enough and we’re going to do something about it. To go beyond the easy promises of words and put our money where our mouth is. Action sits at the heart of everything we do. Only action can move the world forward and change the outcomes of thousands and thousands of lives. And we need your help.
Help us take action. And let’s nail this disease once and for all.
Join us. Fight with us. Act Now.
