Collette Roberts is raising money for Ovarian Cancer Action
In memory of Susan Davenport
Story
Me and Collette are doing the Walk In Her Name; on 19th March 2017.
In the name of Susan Davenport (My Auntie) who sadly passed away only 5 weeks after she was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer.
Ovarian Cancer is the biggest gynaecological killer in the UK claiming the life of a woman every 2 hours. Many women still do not know the symptoms leading to late diagnosis. We are determined to drive up survival rates by funding world-class research into causes, treatments and prevention.
•£7 could buy the nutrients we need to grow the cancer cells we need for our research
•£25 could support a scientist to use a powerful microscope to compare what a cancer cell looks like before and after chemotherapy – helping us to explore how to make chemotherapy treatment more effective
•£50 could buy a chemical that stops cancer cells growing – helping us to create new drugs to prevent women dying from ovarian cancer
•£100 could support scientists to study what causes cancer cells to die – helping us identify potential treatments for the future
•£1,000 could examine a patient’s DNA – enabling us to identify genetic mutations associated with ovarian cancer and understand why ovarian cancer happens
