Story

Last year, hundreds of you walked over 11,560 miles in honour of a loved one who has or has had ovarian cancer. This year we are asking you to Walk In Her Name again, and join us in our mission to change the future for women facing this disease.

By hosting your own Walk In Her Name you will be helping us to fund scientific research, including the vital work of Professor Ahmed and his team of scientists. They have already made some exciting discoveries, which could lead to a screening tool for ovarian cancer. And an ability to screen women for the disease could save lives. Will you join us in our mission to make this possible?

We are the UK’s leading ovarian cancer research charity. In the UK only 1 in 3 women live more than 10 years after diagnosis. We are working to better prevent, treat and detect ovarian cancer, so that by 2032 at least half of women with ovarian cancer live for 10 years.
