In the UK, around 7,500 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year – Unfortunately, ovarian cancer is often diagnosed at a later stage when survival is at its lowest. Ovarian Cancer Action is committed to funding the research that saves lives by attacking the problem at every level; from developing better treatments so women with the disease can live longer, to developing a screening tool to ensure it is caught in its earliest stage.  The statistics in the following link are shocking but they are ones that we hope – with your help – we will be able to change.
