Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page.
We've joined together to raise money for charity. You'll see our team fundraising target on the right. Your donation can really help us smash this goal.
As a family we have been affected by various cancers and we want to say Thank you for the support we have received and to help support other families going through what we are.
Each year, over 22,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer, and 14,000 women will die from it. The symptoms aren't always present or clear, leaving the 5 year relative survival rate at 45%. When diagnosed and treated in stage 1, the five-year relative survival rate is 92 percent! Unfortunately, only 15 percent of ovarian cancers are diagnosed in stage 1, making survival from ovarian cancer much worse than many other cancers. In addition, there is a lack of effective treatment options, and research into new treatments lags significantly behind other cancer types.
That's where Target Ovarian Cancer can make a difference. Almost 40% of their funds go towards research and early diagnosis. They also provide many support services for those who are affected. Won't you join me to raise funds for an organisation that can make such a difference in women's lives?
Remember: Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never share them with anyone or send you unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
