Ovarian Cancer Action is one of 4 cancer charities coming together for a unique new fundraising event, The Big C Cycle Challenge – a 370km cycle ride across India.This is a fantastic opportunity to join together with other like minded people for a personal challenge with positive benefits for your own health, whilst raising funds for four wonderful charities aiming to stop cancers ruining lives. The funds raised will be split equally between the 4 charities. You don't need to be an experienced cyclist to join up, but you must be willing to train.

These Boots Were Made for Walking
And that’s just what Allan Perry hopes they’ll do, when he treks 100km across the Sahara Desert this November! Allan is treking in memory of his wife Avandah who sadly died from ovarian cancer earlier this year. Let’s face it, not many of us would be keen on walking behind a camel in sweltering 130 degree temperatures and kicking scorpions out of our boots, so if you want to help then why not sponsor Allan to do it instead!
