Ovarian cancer is the UK’s deadliest gynaecological disease, with more than 7,000 new cases diagnosed each year. It takes the life of a woman every two hours. Sadly, the survival rate is lower in Wales than the rest of the UK.
Ovarian Cancer Action is working hard to raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer in Wales. The charity is looking to recruit a number of Voices - volunteers who have some experience of the impact of ovarian cancer – to tell their stories and help make some noise about the disease.
Ovarian Cancer Action is running a training session in Cardiff in February that aims to equip volunteers with everything you need to go out and deliver awareness presentations with confidence. The session is free and travel expenses can be reimbursed.
If you are interested in becoming an Ovarian Cancer Action volunteer then please contact Alicia Roberts (Wales Regional Officer) on 07761511927 or Alicia@ovarian.org.uk
If you can help spread awareness of the disease by displaying information leaflets or posters please contact Alicia or request them on the Ovarian Cancer Action website at http://ovarian.org.uk/what-we-want/raising-awareness-of-ovarian-cancer/order-awareness-materials
