Fundraising by my friend

Just a quick shout to let you know my friend Liis has run the Edinburgh half marathon wearing her Ovacome t shirt and running vest and managed to raise over £500 for Ovacome!

She’s a star especially as she has always been let’s say a rather large lady and never run until about 6 months ago.

She has helped spread the word about being aware of Ovarian cancer and that Ovacome is a fantastic source of information and help in dark moments. She did it to support me but in turn I dedicate it to you other ladies who are a source of solace, laughter and hope.

Without exaggeration, that really is a phenomenal achievement (I've been running for over 10 years and I know I'II never run a half marathon!). Brilliant too she ran for Ovacome; runner's supporting ovarian cancer charities are thin on the ground in races. Thank you, wonderful lady.

Dear Emsymits

We really appreciate all the hard work fundraisers like Liis put in to enable us to continue working to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and support those affected by ovarian cancer.

Liis has also helped raise awareness through her run and of course wearing her Ovacome t shirt and running vest!

It is such a fantastic achievement by Liis to run the half marathon and the amount she's raised through all her supporters is wonderful! A massive thank you to Liis and everyone who donated to support her run.

Best wishes

The Ovacome Team
