Out with the old......

...and in with the new!

2011 has been a busy and eventful year for us at WCSUK.

This time last year, we didn't exist! We came into being in April and things have snowballed since then!

The Facebook page; the twitter page; the website - they are all being seen and followed and we are reaching out to women with womb cancer who want support!

We have a lot of things planned for 2012 - but for now we'd just like to wish everyone a peaceful and happy new year.

Always remember that no-one fights alone! xx

Have a peachy xmas with us!

December is upon on and it will soon be xmas. Before you rush off to the shops to buy some cards and presents please take a look at some of the items we have to offer that will help raise funds for womb cancer research.

Debra's very talented daughter, Annette had designed some lovely cards for us, all in peach with some lovely quirky touches. They can be found here
http://www.redbubble.com/people/dparry/collections/108202-christmas-cards?product_type=greeting-card so please do go and have a look at them. They would make a great talking point and give you the chance to explain all about our awareness campaign!

We have re-opened the fundraising page over on Facebook and I have added some new handmade items. The auction we held during September for the awareness month was a huge succes and raised over £300 so I am hoping that we can generate some more funds in the run up to xmas.

All the items come wrapped in tissue paper and in organza pouches and are ideal as stocking fillers. Again, please pop over and have a look and share the link with as many people as possible.

A quick update on our petition calling for a dedicated national womb cancer charity https://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/wombcancercharity the number of signatures now stands at 632! Again, please share the link with as many people as possible!

Remember our website can be found here
http://www.wix.com/wombcancersupportuk/home so if you know anyone who may benefit from some mutual support then please let them know about us!

We are already making plans for next years awareness campaign in September. We need to raise awareness of womb cancer and bring a halt to the increasing number of women that are getting this dreadful disease. Only by talking about it and making women aware of the symptons can be hope to one day see an end to womb cancer.

Until next time xx
