I'm fundraising for Ovacome as a Touch of Teal model 2025

Can you help me make a real difference to the ovarian cancer community?

As an ovarian cancer survivor and now a Touch of Teal model for 2025, 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.

This September, during Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month, I'm taking centre stage on the Touch of Teal catwalk as someone with an ovarian cancer 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 in the lead-up to the big day.

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 really help someone affected by ovarian cancer.
