Lorna's Story
Written by Rob's mum, charity founder, Lorna. "You’re my first thought when I wake and the last when I sleep, and I can’t see that ever changing."
We are the UK's only testicular, ovarian and germ-cell cancer charity.
We save lives.
Saving Lives
We educate young people on the signs and symptoms of testicular, ovarian and germ cell cancers through our award-winning campaigns and life-saving educational talks.
Supporting Lives
We stand beside everyone affected by these cancers — with Thriver Packs, WhatsApp communities, our podcast and real stories from people who understand.
Changing Lives
We build a national movement of Thrivers, volunteers, fundraisers and partners, giving a voice to those affected by these cancers.
