Walk in Her Name Step Challenge, March 2022
This March in Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we want you to Walk In Her Name and take a step for every incredible woman dealing with ovarian cancer. Take 295,000 steps throughout March (around 10,000 steps a day) and raise £295 to power faster progress through life saving research, to make ovarian cancer a survivable disease.
And let's do it together - create a team with your family, friends and colleagues, proudly supporting the women we all love.
Why 295,000 steps?
Every year, 295,000 women around the world are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Behind every number you’ll find a mum, a wife, a partner, a sister, a grandmother, an auntie, a friend, a colleague. Someone we’ve laughed with in the best of times and held each other tightly in the worst of times.
For every woman diagnosed, approximately only half of the women will survive beyond five years, changing the future for families and friends everywhere.
So, this March, walk for yourself, for a woman you love and for every woman affected by ovarian cancer and we can make ovarian cancer a survivable disease.

- How can I complete my 295,000 steps?
-
If you complete 10,000 steps a day, you can to reach 295,000 steps in one month. We have lots more ideas for you here. You can complete the 295,000 steps as a personal challenge, create a team with your friends and family and compete to see who achieves the most steps, or combine your team’s efforts to collectively reach 295,000 steps.

We’re asking you to aim to raise £295 to fund the next generation of ovarian cancer research. If you raise just £10 a day you will reach your target.
