Help me support those affected by ovarian cancer

Can you help me make a real difference to the life of someone affected by ovarian cancer?

I’m raising funds for Ovacome, the national UK charity focused on providing support and information to anyone affected by this disease. Ovacome is a strong community for those who have been diagnosed, those who think that they might be at risk, friends and family, and healthcare professionals.

Ovacome exists to reduce isolation, provide expert information, promote understanding of ovarian cancer and its symptoms, and to support those affected by it in their time of need.  

Ovacome’s specialist support team is there to help those living with ovarian cancer navigate their treatment, care and life beyond the disease through the charity’s telephone support line, email, and 24-hour forum. Ovacome also hosts online and in-person groups, workshops, and events where people affected can meet others in similar circumstances, share advice, make friends, and offer encouragement to one another in a safe environment.

Ovacome receives no government funding and so relies on its donors and fundraisers to make its life-changing work possible. Your generosity could help someone affected by ovarian cancer access the vital support and resources they need. Any amount you feel able to give could have a huge impact on the experience of someone facing a diagnosis.

It would mean a lot to me if you could share my fundraising page with your friends, family, colleagues and on your social media.

Five Years On: Why I'll Be Walking the Teal Walk This September

Friday 21st Aug
Five years ago this week, my ovarian cancer story began.

At the time, I had no idea how much my life was about to change. What followed was a whirlwind of hospital appointments, surgery, treatment and uncertainty. Like many people diagnosed with ovarian cancer, I found myself searching for information, reassurance and connection at a time when everything felt overwhelming.

This September, James, Evie and Max, and I will be taking part in Ovacome's Teal Walk to mark five years and raise funds for a charity that has played an important part in my journey.

When I was first diagnosed with mucinous ovarian cancer, Ovacome became a trusted source of information and support. The charity helped me navigate one of the most difficult periods of my life and reminded me that I wasn't alone. The community, information resources and peer support made an incredibly challenging time feel less isolating. 

Earlier this year, I had the privilege of becoming a trustee of Ovacome. It feels incredibly special to be able to give something back to an organisation that supported me when I needed it most. 

"Ovacome felt like a community, not just a resource. I found the forum and support particularly helpful, especially having a rarer diagnosis. It made a difficult time feel a bit less lonely." 

Reaching this milestone feels significant, and I'm deeply grateful to be able to celebrate it with my family. But I also know that many people are facing ovarian cancer right now, or supporting someone they love through a diagnosis.

That's why we're walking.

If you're local and would like to join us on the day, we'd love to have you walk with us. If you can't make it, we'd be incredibly grateful if you would consider sponsoring us instead. 

Every donation helps Ovacome continue providing trusted information, support and community for people affected by ovarian cancer. Ovacome receives no government funding and relies on fundraisers and supporters to continue its work. 

Five years ago, I couldn't have imagined where this journey would take me. Today, I'm thankful to be walking alongside James, Evie and Max, celebrating how far we've come, and helping to ensure others receive the same support that meant so much to me when I needed it.

Thank you for your support.
