Why I’m fundraising...

I’m taking part in the London Landmarks Half Marathon 2027 to raise funds and awareness in aid of Target Ovarian Cancer, the UK’s leading ovarian cancer charity. 

As a pharmacy student with a particular interest in women’s health, this is a cause that means a lot to me. Through my studies and learning more about ovarian cancer, I’ve become increasingly aware of the significant gaps that still exist in women’s healthcare, particularly when it comes to symptom awareness, early diagnosis, access to effective treatments and support. It has highlighted to me just how much more needs to be done to bridge these gaps and improve outcomes for women affected by ovarian cancer.

Target Ovarian Cancer is dedicated to tackling these challenges by raising awareness of symptoms, promoting life-saving early diagnosis, advancing treatments and providing vital support to everyone affected.

I would be so grateful for any support towards my fundraising, whether that's through a donation or simply sharing my page to help spread awareness.

Together, we can help bridge these gaps and transform the future for everyone diagnosed with ovarian cancer. <3
