This year, Monika and I are taking on the Cherish Epic Ten Peaks Challenge together. After our many years in research and clinical practice, we carry the stories of women and families who have changed us forever. Their courage and strength guide our path.

Each peak stands for a hope for change – earlier diagnosis, kinder treatment, greater choice for women, and most importantly, a future where our children face cancer with hope, not fear.

We would love to know: what inspires you?

We invite you to share your reason for supporting gynaecological cancer research. Let your words be as fierce, tender, or uplifting as you wish. We will carry each note with us, safely tucked away, and when we pause, we will read them with gratitude. Your messages will remind us that we are never alone on this path, and together we can make a greater difference.

By ‘support’ I mean of any form, whether it is raising awareness about gynaecological cancer, offering in-kind support, or forming collaborations. Please feel free to leave your note below, even if you don’t plan to donate.  

With heartfelt thanks,

Andreas & Monika
