Story

Hello!

This year, after 3 years of trying, I have been lucky(?!) enough to gain a place in the London Marathon 2010.  I am fundraising for The Eve Appeal which was set up to save women's lives by funding research into gynaecological cancers.

Nearly 18,000 women are diagnosed annually in the UK with a gynaecological cancer and some 7,500 die.

In the UK, ovarian cancer is the most fatal of all the gynaecological cancers and has a death rate similar to the survival rate for breast cancer. Each year in the UK 6,600 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and 4,400 women die from the disease. When ovarian cancer is diagnosed at an advanced stage, the mortality rates are even more devastating.

In 2004 my amazing Grandma lost her battle with ovarian cancer so please help me to raise funds for a much needed cause.  Any donation is greatly appreciated!

Thanks a bunch you lovely people! xx
