Abby Younis

Women Conquering Cancer
Women in Health & Wellbeing - Winner

Abby Younis was diagnosed with ovarian and endometrial cancer during COVID. Determined to "payback" the Liverpool Women's Hospital (LWH) for the swift treatment she received during the pandemic, help other women, and make her cancer a "good news story", she approached LWH to offer the Mona Lisa Touch laser treatment on the NHS to help women suffering from debilitating urogenital symptoms of surgical and natural menopause. This required raising £50,000 for the purchase of laser and Abby worked tirelessly to achieve this through her "Women Conquering Cancer" campaign, whilst still recovering from her surgery. The target was reached, and Liverpool Women's Hospital will make history for being the first hospital to provide this life-changing treatment on the NHS. Thousands of women will benefit, and Abby hopes that other women's hospitals will follow.
