ABOUT GRACE

In the UK 21,000 women a year are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer. That’s 58 women each day, and of these 21 will die. These cancers make up some of the most common and most fatal diseases that women face, but despite this, gynaecological cancer is neither high profile, nor well funded.

GRACE is a small charity here in Guildford, doing incredible things to improve women's treatment and recovery, keeping local Surrey/Hampshire/Sussex women’s cancer treatment near home and easier to access at a time where their health is already impaired. GRACE also has a mission to raise awareness of these cancers and their symptoms (or lack thereof) to better equip and encourage women to seek early intervention.

When we lose women, families are destroyed. At GRACE we believe our cause should matter to everyone, because our mothers, grandmothers. wives, sisters, nieces and daughters deserve the best outcomes should they ever face the frightening diagnosis of a gynaecological cancer.
