  • Help me make a difference to those affected by ovarian cancer

    I’m raising money for Ovacome, who support people living with ovarian cancer and their loved ones. This cause means a lot to me -many of you know about my sister, Jane. I’ve always been wary of raising money for charities like this, but now it feels like the least I can do. I hope that you’ll consider supporting their work in any way that you can.
