Ovarian cancer is called the silent killer. But you can help to change that. Every year over 7,000 women across the UK are diagnosed with ovarian cancer. 5,000 of them will die. That’s a death rate of over 70% - similar to the survival rate for breast cancer.

One of those women was my daughter Sarah who died at the age of just 28 earlier this year only a few weeks after being diagnosed.

Ovarian cancer action is the leading ovarian cancer charity in the UK. Ovarian cancer action funds research into ovarian cancer, raises awareness of the disease and gives a voice to women affected by it.

To raise funds for the charity our nephew is planning on doing a Triathlon on the 28th June 2008 at Market Bosworth, leicestershire. Open water swim 750m in very cold water, followed by 20K bike ride followed by 5K run/shuffle to the finish.

Any support for this deserving cause would be appreciated by the family and donations can be made online through the justgiving website
