I'm a model at Touch of Teal 2026!
Can you help me make a real difference to the ovarian cancer community?
As a Touch of Teal model 2026, 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
My name is Michelle and I was unfortunately diagnosed with ovarian cancer in November 2023 after surgery at the age 58 and in January 24 I commenced 6 rounds of chemotherapy to say this was the darkest and most soul searching time of my life is an understatement, the ground I stood on turned to sand and my world became a very scary place , you question will I see another birthday or Christmas and at times I didn’t think I’d make it , but from my lowest point I knew deep in my core what I had been through could not be in vain and that I will raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer to spot the changes when the body whispers before it screams as mine did - I feel truly blessed and honoured to have been selected as a touch of teal model 2026 I am raising funds for this amazing charity who support people just like me and ordinary girl from an ordinary town who has been dealt that card and to raise awareness and funds so that early diagnosis is possible so that there are better outcomes for sisters daughters friends aunties so that no one ever gets a late diagnosis and that we all have HOPE and LOVE and no one faces this alone 🩵 please please if you could donate the cost of a coffee or a sandwich we all buy without even thinking I’d be so so grateful and you will be supporting me and others just like 🩵keep checking in watching my page I will be adding regular updates of my efforts and my adventure as a
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.

Inspirational. My family were also touched by this awful disease. My Aunty died in 1981 at 34 and my mum and Aunty also had to have hysterectomy due to this. All maternal sisters. Keep up the good work.
