In a sector where the workforce is predominantly female, open conversations about women’s health are long overdue.

Founded in 2014, when their own surveys showed that 41% of women were too embarrassed to go to the doctor about a gynaecological issue,4 the Lady Garden Foundation has made it a mission to arm women and girls with the knowledge they need to break down the taboos.
On 14th May 2022, Davina McCall was joined by 250 runners in Hyde Park to run either a 5km or 10km route in support of the Lady Garden Foundation, in partnership with Simplyhealth. Participants raised an incredible £20,000 for the charity.
Davina said that she was thrilled to be hosting such an exciting event in support of the Lady Garden Foundation charity. “Lady Garden is doing such important work, raising vital funds and awareness for the five gynaecological cancers. There is still so much work to be done in this space and it’s events like these that make life-changing differences, in terms of fundraising and educating more people.”
