In Memory of Debbie Baldwin

In 2021, our good friend Debbie lost her courageous battle with ovarian cancer. Whilst it’s important to ride in memory of Debbie and all the positive things she represented, its very much about raising the vital funds Ovacome need to provide training and support for all those impacted by Ovarian cancer.  And that’s where you all come in…

So far YOU have collectively raised just over £130,000 and this year we want to reach £200,000.  Since we started the rides back in 2023 there have been encouraging developments in both diagnosis and treatment of Ovarian cancer but 21 people are diagnosed every day in the UK.  So Ovacome still need your amazing support.

For this year`s challenge we will ride through 6 countries in 48 hours.  Starting in France, we will ride across Switzerland into Germany then down via Austria and Leichenstein for a final climb over the Alps into Italy.  500km and 4,000mtrs of climbing.

Ovacome are a UK charity providing vital support services to those diagnosed or impacted by Ovarian Cancer

·       £49 could cover the cost of running an online support group session for 12 people.

 

·       £142 could cover the cost of running an in-person support group session for 12 people.

 

·       £500 could cover the fees for our expert speakers at 1 Ovacome Health and Wellbeing Day.

 

·       £1,500 could cover the costs of running Members Series webinars for 1 year. That's 6 sessions reaching 15 people per webinar featuring personal stories from those living with ovarian cancer.

 

·       £2,500 could cover the costs of running informational webinars for 1 year. That's 20 sessions led by experts on the latest advances in ovarian cancer treatment and research, as well as advice for managing aspects of living with a diagnosis.

We did it

Monday 13th Jul
Despite the heat we made it with 30 mins to spare.

We could not have managed without the support car - refilling our bottles for us with ice at every stop and lots of vocal encouragement especially on the Splugenpass climb.

An epic ride that many of us maybe doubted was possible.  A huge thank you to everyone involved and everyone who has donated.

Now I am off for a lie down before planning next year…..

Phil, it is inspiring to see your commitment to the Ovacome ride in support of such a noble cause. Wishing you the very best for what is an extraordinary challenge - both physically, and in the impact that it will help create. It’s a privilege to support the effort in a small way. I hope the ride goes smoothly and safely. Best, Ravi
