You're all there for the same reason. You see people with notices on their backs and you get tears reading their messages. It's quite inspiring. Pauline

In total we raised over £4,100 in memory of Mum, and we were supported every step of the way by the great team at Target Ovarian Cancer. Clare-Anne

Clare-Anne and her family

There’s so much I could say about Alison. We were married for 38 years, and she was a generous and loving wife, mother and Grandma. Alison passed away just six weeks after her diagnosis of ovarian cancer.

It’s important to me that I support Target Ovarian Cancer and fundraise in Alison’s memory. I’ll be doing the Ovarian Cancer Walk|Run for the fourth time this year. The first time I took part I appreciated how well run it was, and how many friendly people were also taking part. I took part again the next year with friends and took my family along the year after that.

What’s different about it is that everyone is in the same boat. We’re all doing it for the same reason. Colin
