For the love of every woman

Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest cancers affecting women, but love is a powerful force for change. Thanks to your support, our research is advancing, building a brighter future form women facing ovarian cancer.

John's love for Ann is helping the next big breakthrough

In 1995, Ann lost her life to ovarian cancer, leaving behind her husband, John, and their three children.

Throughout her journey, she kept a diary, sharing her thoughts, fears, and hopes for her family’s future. Today, John shares these pages with us to honour Ann's memory and to remind us of the impact ovarian cancer has on so many lives.

This Christmas, your love can save lives

Ann’s story is still the reality for countless women, as ovarian cancer remains one of the hardest cancers to diagnose and treat. Her words inspire us to keep pushing for change. Thanks to research, survival rates are improving – but the need for breakthroughs is still urgent.

Join us in honouring Ann’s legacy and supporting a future where fewer families endure this loss. Your donations help fund the research that will change the future for women facing ovarian cancer.

An urgent need for research

Thousands of women in the UK are diagnosed every year, and only 1 in 3 will survive beyond 10 years.

Thanks to ongoing research, the survival rate for ovarian cancer has nearly doubled since the 1970s – but they are still low.

We can change that, but need your support to fund the next life-saving breakthrough.
