Woman didn't tell friends about illness as 'everyone had enough to worry about'

A woman who didn't tell friends she had double ovarian cancer has set up a fundraiser to buy life changing equipment for Liverpool Women's Hospital (LWH).

Abby Younis, diagnosed with cancer at the beginning of lockdown in March 2020, has a target to raise £50,000 to buy a Mona Lisa Touch Laser for LWH. The laser will provide free treatment for women via the NHS.

Being £10,000 short of the target, Abby held an event at the Florrie, in Toxteth, towards the outstanding amount in March, and she has now raised over £42,000 to date. Abby has a JustGiving page as well as a further fundraiser set for June 12 called 'Menopause, Movement & Mindfulnes' at The Hope Street Hotel, sponsored by Reformer Retreats.
