Story
We are raising money and awareness to find treatment for a rare form of ovarian cancer (low grade serous) that is hard to cure with chemotherapy.
After a recent diagnosis followed by major surgery two weeks later, our Emma Yendell has found herself in a position where doctors are unclear on the best course of action, due to lack of existing research. We want to help remove that scenario for all women, their daughters & their nieces so they can keep living life to the full.
Team Yendell (Emma's husband Alan, sister & brothers in law, Suzy, Chris, John plus family, Kathryn Tom and Ben, and friends) will run like the wind (or in the wind!) at the Glencoe Marathon, raising money to help those impacted by this rare and under-researched form of ovarian cancer which affects young women and is resistant to standard treatment.
Funds raised will go to The Nicola Murray Centre, based at the University of Edinburgh, who are screening panels of new drugs in order to identify those most effective treatments.
