Go 50 miles this coming January for the 1 in 50 UK women who will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in their lifetime.
You can complete the distance any way you like – jogging or running, at the gym or in the park, in one go or spread over the month! However you take part, you'll be helping us to target life-saving early diagnosis, research and support for everyone affected by ovarian cancer.
How to join Team Target
There's no registration fee for Target 50, it's completely free to take part! All you need to do is join our Facebook group, where we'll provide all the information you need to register and get started, as well as lots of resources to help you make those miles count.
When you register, we'll send you a free t-shirt! We can also provide any other materials you need to raise funds and awareness, including sponsorship forms and symptoms leaflets.
We suggest you set a sponsorship target of £150, but we're so grateful for any amount you're able to raise.
Don't have Facebook?
No problem! Just let our fundraising team know that you'd like to join the challenge and they'll give you all the help you need - email [email protected] or call us on 020 7923 5474. We recommend setting up a fundraising page on JustGiving, or you can fundraise offline if you prefer.
