Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my just giving page, I have set my own target of walking 13,000 steps everyday in March to raise money for Target Ovarian Cancer who are the UK’s leading ovarian cancer charity. They work to improve early diagnosis, fund life-saving research and provide much-needed support to women with ovarian cancer.

In 2017 I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer after having an elective total hysterectomy and appendectomy due to severe abdominal swelling (I looked 9 months pregnant!) Irregular bleeding and immense pain which we thought was just caused by an endometriotic cyst. Thankfully after having that operation and having 6 rounds of chemo I have managed to stay free of the horrid disease but I now want to raise money so that more campaigning can be done to raise awareness as many leave it too late as they are unaware of the symptoms to lookout for or are misdiagnosed with something else such as IBS! 

Here's where money raised will go:

Taken from the Target Ovarian Cancer website. www.targetovariancancer.org.uk 

£14 could enable 2 GPs to update their knowledge of ovarian cancer and best practice for early diagnosis

£34 could pay for one hour of medical research into new treatments

£50 could help 50 people to learn about the symptoms of ovarian cancer by receiving our symptoms leaflet

£100 could provide 60 women diagnosed with ovarian cancer with a printed copy of one our Information Standard accredited publications, offering expert advice, practical information and emotional support.

Last year we spent 65p of every pound raised to support women with a diagnosis, improve early diagnosis and research new and improved treatments.

Thank for taking the time to read my story please help me reach my target by sponsoring me I shall post my daily steps on an album on my Facebook page.
