Gynaecological cancer is the world's fourth biggest cancer killer of
women, with 1.2 million being diagnosed worldwide each year. Often
diagnosed too late for effective treatment, ovarian cancer is the most
common and most fatal of these gynaecological cancers in the UK
claiming the lives of 5,000 out of the 7,000 women diagnosed with the
disease each year.
The Hope Trust was formed after the mother of one of the trustees was
diagnosed with advanced ovarian cancer. Shocked by the lack of
awareness of the symptoms of this disease among both the public and
GPs, the trustees are determined to raise general awareness and
generate funds to help save women's lives.
The Hope Trust brings together members of the Yorkshire business
community whose experience in brand creation, marketing, PR and event
management will ensure that their fundraising events become essential
dates in the social calendar
