Take on our 9-day challenge

Make your steps matter! Set yourself a challenge to complete over 9 days and raise money to help us be there for everyone affected by cervical cancer. 

Why 9 days? 9 people are diagnosed with cervical cancer every day. You can help us make this number a statistic of the past.

 Your challenge could be anything – here are just a few ideas:

• Walk 9000 steps a day for 9 days
• Run a marathon over 9 days
• Cycle 9 miles a day for 9 days
• Do 9 press-ups a day for 9 days

Let's Meet!

This Gynaecological Awareness Month our support event is going online! Join us from 21 - 25 September 2020 for a chance to listen to some amazing speakers and connect with others. We have 5 workshops on offer covering everything from looking after your mental health after a diagnosis to Gong Bath Relaxation!
