1 in 50 women in the UK will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in their lifetime. Run, jog or walk 50 miles across the month of January, and together we can make sure every one of them has access to the best possible treatments and support.
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 sign up using the link below:
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.
If you raise £50 (enough for 50 people to learn the symptoms of ovarian cancer by receiving one of our information leaflets) by Monday 5 January we'll send you a Target Ovarian Cancer teal headband as a thank you
When you reach your fundraising target of £170 (enough to fund 10 calls to our nurse-led support line when someone needs our help and advice) you'll get an eco-friendly wooden medal!

Frequently asked questions
- How do I set up my Target 50 fundraising page?
It’s really easy! Once you’ve signed up using the registration link, your very own Target Ovarian Cancer fundraising page will be created automatically. If you’d rather use Facebook or JustGiving instead, please just let us know, we’ll be very happy to help you get set up. You can choose to use one platform, or even combine two or all three if you’d like!
If you'd prefer to fundraise offline, please 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.
Please find our offline sponsorship form if you are fundraising offline.
- What is the registration deadline?
There's no registration deadline, but the t-shirt offer is only available whilst stocks last, so we recommend you or any friends and family join the challenge as early as possible to avoid any disappointment! T-shirt orders close on Monday 5 January.
- Is there an age limit for participants?
No. You can take part if you’re 10 or 110! But, if you’re under 16, you will need a parent or guardian to sign you up to the challenge. Please email [email protected] with permission from your parent or guardian.
- Can I take part in a wheelchair or mobility scooter?
Absolutely! It's your personal challenge and we encourage everyone to adapt it to suit their needs and goals.
- I'm not based in the UK. Can I still take part?
You are more than welcome to take part wherever you are based in the world. Unfortunately, we can only ship t-shirts to UK addresses.
- When can I expect my t-shirt?
From the point of ordering your t-shirt, it can take up to 10 working days for it to arrive. If you've waited longer than 15 working days, please contact our fundraising team at [email protected] or 020 7923 5474 and we'll look into this for you. Thank you very much for your patience.
- Can I get an extra t-shirt?
Unfortunately, we have a limited stock of t-shirts and will only be able to supply one t-shirt per registered fundraiser.
- What if I don't complete the challenge?
The only thing that matters is that you challenge yourself. However much you achieve, we're so grateful for your support and for raising much-needed funds for Target Ovarian Cancer.
- Where will my sponsors' money go? Do I have to do anything else to pay in my online sponsorship?
All sponsorship will come directly to Target Ovarian Cancer. You don't have to worry about this. It happens automatically! Thanks so much for your incredible support!
- What if I don't reach the fundraising target?
If you don't reach the fundraising target, that's okay. Every penny counts and will help the 1 in 50 UK women who will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in their lifetime.
- My business/employer wants to donate/match fund my fundraising. How do they do this?
It's wonderful that your employer would like to match fund you! The process varies a little between companies. Please email us at [email protected] and we'll be more than happy to provide them with any further information they might need. Thank you so much!
