Get ready for Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month in September!

[OvacomeSupport]

This is our opportunity to spotlight ovarian cancer as one of the five gynaecological cancers. This year, we’re highlighting that, on average, it takes 12 weeks from someone experiencing a symptom to visiting a GP about their concerns. 66% of people hadn’t heard of ovarian cancer, or didn't know anything about it, prior to their diagnosis.

Help us reduce that figure by spreading the word to as many people as possible this GCAM. You can help Ovacome reach more than one million people with our awareness and information materials over the next 12 months by fundraising to help us hit our £97,000 target!

👉 Take inspiration from our Walk With Me group and set yourself a sponsored walking goal based on the number 12. Could you walk 1.2 miles every day? Cover 120 miles over the month? Join up with friends to meet a 12-mile a week target? Or commit to walking 12,000 steps a day?

👉 Join us on 28 September at Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham to Walk With Us. This will be a chance to meet others affected by ovarian cancer, stretch your legs, raise awareness and raise funds! Everyone is welcome, so do invite your friends and family to join in the fun.

👉 Walking not your thing? That’s okay! Come up with your own DIY fundraiser, donate to support our work, or share our B.E.A.T. awareness materials with your community.

Visit: ovacome.org.uk/gcam for more information about all the above and to get started.

Let’s work together to make a real difference this September ✨

Many thanks,
