About us
We are a local support group based in Norfolk, created by and for women affected by ovarian cancer. Whether newly diagnosed, in treatment, living with recurrent cancer, or navigating life beyond it, we believe no one should have to face this journey alone.
​
Our group offers a safe, understanding space to connect, share experiences, and support one another through the emotional and physical challenges that come with ovarian cancer.
​
We know from personal experience how isolating this diagnosis can feel—and how little dedicated support is available. While some cancers benefit from widespread awareness and resources, women with ovarian cancer are often left without the same care packages or emotional support. We’re working to change that.
​
Together, we’re finding strength.
We believe in empowering all women affected by ovarian cancer. Every woman can embrace who they are, define their future, and make a positive impact.
Our Mission
Our mission is to raise awareness, share knowledge, and build a supportive community where anyone affected by ovarian cancer can find understanding, connection, and strength together.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every woman is aware of the signs of ovarian cancer, empowered to seek early detection, and supported with the care and compassion she deserves.
