President Sandra Wilkinson with the Charity speaker, Diane McLafferty, at the club meeting 27th May 2010.
She is a volunteer with The Eve Appeal and is part of the research screening trial into genetic causes of ovarian cancer.

Gynaecological cancers are the world's fourth largest cancer killer of women.

Every year a million women  are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer worldwide.  In the UK, 18,000 women are diagnosed and nearly 7,500 women die every year. And yet, awareness and funding of gynaecological cancers remains low.

The Eve Appeal is determined to change this by funding vital research focused on developing effective methods of prediction, detection, treatment and care that will help save women's lives not only in the UK but throughout the world.

This world-leading research is complicated and challenging but our vision is simple:

A future where fewer women develop and more women survive gynaecological cancers.
