Team Helena

Great North Run

Why we're fundraising...

Our beautiful friend, Helena, lost her battle with ovarian cancer in March. We all met and lived in Newcastle, and so it feels poignant to raise awareness through the Great North Run. 

Target Ovarian Cancer is the UK's leading ovarian cancer charity working to improve early diagnosis, fund life-saving research and provide support to women with ovarian cancer.

Awareness of ovarian cancer is low, its share of UK research funding has dropped and three quarters of women with ovarian cancer say they do not get the support they need.

Together we can make sure women in the UK have the best chances of survival and get the right support at the right time, in a way that's right for them.

Raise awareness. Fund research. Save lives.

Thank you to our Sponsors
