Alistair's cycling to change lives

Tour de Ovacome

Our Group/Family

I’m taking on Tour de Ovacome – and I’d love your support 🚴‍♂️

On August 30, together with a bunch of other Thalwil MAMILS, I am aiming to cycle from Milan to  Zurich in 24 hours (300km + 4000m) to raise funds and awareness for Ovacome, the UK’s ovarian cancer support charity. We have chosen this charity in memory of a friend of one of our group who sadly died from this illness.

Every day, 21 people in the UK are diagnosed with ovarian cancer, yet most of us wouldn’t recognise the symptoms. Ovacome is working to change that.

They provide expert support, reliable information, and a welcoming community for anyone affected by ovarian cancer – whether you’re living with the disease, supporting someone who is, or worried about your risk. They’re a constant for many people facing the unknown, and they receive no government funding, so every donation really does make a difference.

If you can spare a few pounds to support my ride, you’ll be helping someone access life-changing support when they need it most.

Awareness starts with action. Please share this page with your friends, family, and colleagues to help spread the word. 

Thank you!
