I’m taking on the 2026 London Marathon for Ovacome – and I’d love your support 🏃♀️🏃♂️
In April 2026, I’m running the London Marathon to raise vital funds and awareness for Ovacome, the UK’s ovarian cancer support charity.
They provide expert support, trustworthy 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.
Ovacome’s specialist support team helps those affected navigate treatment, care and life beyond the disease through the charity’s telephone support line, email, and 24-hour forum. They host 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.
If you can spare a few pounds to support my marathon challenge, you’ll be helping someone access life-changing support when they need it most. Just £28 could provide an hour of 1-1 specialist support for someone affected by ovarian cancer. £124 could cover the cost of running an in-person support group session for 12 people.
My incredible Step Gran, Andrea, who has been facing ovarian cancer with a bravery that leaves us all in awe. She continues to show us what true strength looks like every single day. Even in the middle of treatments, appointments, and the uncertainty that comes with this disease, she refuses to let it define her. With quiet determination, she still turns up to complete her monthly Parkrun 5K; proving that cancer may challenge her, but it will never take away her courage. She has also embraced yoga throughout her journey, finding strength, balance, and moments of calm through each session; it has helped her both physically and mentally, giving her space to breathe and reset during the toughest days. She constantly inspires me; her resilience, her positivity, and her refusal to give up remind us all to keep going.
I’m taking on this event in her honour, to celebrate her fighting spirit and to raise vital funds to support everyone affected by ovarian cancer.

Well done Charlotte for taking on this challenge, raising awareness of ovarian cancer. Everything you said about Andrea is so true, she has always had the fight and determination in her, fighting for great care for Leon and now showing the same grit and determination to not let cancer take control of her life.

What a fantastic thing for you to do for a fantastic lady. Andrea and I go back nearly 40 years, and everything you say in your beautiful right up is true. Ovarian cancer doesn’t seem to have the same publicity as other cancers so your input will be fantastic. We will be watching your future with interest and wish you the very best of luck xx
