In July 2025, our mum, Deborah Lyon, was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer. It’s been tough for our family but in true Debbie fashion, she's faced everything with strength and optimism (and a sprinkling of that scouse humour to help along the way). Since mum's diagnosis, we've learnt a lot more about Ovarian Cancer and unfortunately, the research, treatment and prevention for ovarian cancer is behind many other cancers.

So this year, the 3 siblings (Lavinia, Natalie and Alex), are getting together in the hopes of raising £20,000 for the amazing charities working on ovarian cancer research. Throughout 2026, we will be taking on a range of fundraising activities from pub quizzes to fitness challenges, and anyone who knows us will confirm that we're not a family of runners... so wish us luck!
