Gok’s charity of the month for May: Target Ovarian Cancer
Hey beautiful people, what a crazy busy few weeks it’s been… just how I like it! This month, on 8th May, its World Ovarian Cancer Day, and to support this I want to promote the work of Target Ovarian Cancer who do an incredible job working to save lives and help diagnosed women live life to the full! They are a great charity, so please support them and check out the details below. BIG hug, love you xx
Each year, 7,000 women with ovarian cancer are diagnosed in the UK, and 4,300 lose their lives too soon. The UK has amongst the lowest ovarian cancer survival rates in Europe. We want to change this by:
- Improving early diagnosis, both with women and GPs across the UK
- Finding new treatments, through our UK-wide research programme
- Providing support for women, via events, publications and information.
We will join with ovarian cancer communities from around the world as we unite in a global movement to raise awareness of ovarian cancer. For women living with the ovarian cancer and their families and friends, World Ovarian Cancer Day has built, and will continue to build, a sense of solidarity against the disease. Annwen Jones, Chief Executive of Target Ovarian Cancer said: “We’re very excited about World Ovarian Cancer Day. A pledge to pass on the awareness message to at least five friends will highlight the importance of ovarian cancer awareness, and will save lives. As part of the World Ovarian Cancer Day steering group, we are very proud to be a founder member of such an important worldwide initiative.”
