Every breakthrough starts with a reason.
Sometimes it’s a future we want to protect, or the thought of someone we love. Other times, it’s the belief that women deserve better outcomes, and that funding critical research into our health is the key to making that happen.
Ovarian Cancer Action exists to save lives through research. As the UK’s leading ovarian cancer research charity, we focus solely on funding research that can improve treatment and survival.
So far, we’ve invested £13 million into life-saving research - helping drive progress that wouldn’t happen otherwise.
But research takes time, commitment, and long-term support. Without it, progress slows, and opportunities are lost. With it, breakthroughs become possible.
That’s how breakthroughs begin.
Turn your reason into life-saving research this Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month.
Every reason matters. Here are a few of ours.
Behind every ovarian cancer research breakthrough are the stories that remind us why progress matters.
Their journeys are the reason we fund research that challenges the status quo and seeks better outcomes for women. Because behind every statistic is a person, a family, and a future that deserves protecting.
These stories aren’t just memories. They are motivations. They shape the questions we ask, the research we support, and the breakthroughs we pursue.
They are the reason we do what we do.
