A friend of mine has the same impairment as me - and she also has ovarian cancer. To raise awareness we are supporting Ovarian cancer action in the UK by recycling our ink cartridges.

It is the highest gynaecological killer of women in the UK and the fourth most common cause of death from cancer in women. Around two thirds of those diagnosed will die from the disease.
