Gaynor's Goal, Warrington (2026)

11/10/2026

💜 Whilst this isn't a Gaynor's Goal Baton Challenge post per se, it just goes to show that you don't have to be a Baton custodian to help raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer. 💜

This weekend, Patricia and her daughter enjoyed a Residential Yoga Retreat in the beautiful Peak District. But this wasn't just any yoga retreat...

Many of you who have been following Gaynor's Goal for a while may remember our Black Tie Dinner at Manchester United, Old Trafford, held on what would have been Gaynor's birthday. The evening raised funds for both St. Rocco's Hospice and Target Ovarian Cancer and included a silent auction.

Well, it turns out one particular auction prize was a little more "silent" than most!

Our wonderful friend and supporter Namasyoga, kindly donated a place on one of her Yoga Retreats. The prize was successfully bid for on the night, but what happened next was truly special. Patricia was later informed that the winning bidder had chosen to donate the retreat place to her, feeling she might benefit from it more than they would.

To our mystery donor, whoever you are, thank you. Your kindness and generosity meant more than you could possibly know. 💜

🧘‍♀️ Peak District 2026 - Relax and Unwind Yoga Retreat

Set amongst the stunning scenery of the Peak District, Gradbach Mill provided the perfect setting to slow down, recharge and reconnect. A weekend filled with wellness, reflection, friendship and laughter.

Initially, Patricia was a little apprehensive about attending alone. Stepping outside your comfort zone can be daunting, so she secured a place for her daughter too. Not only did this make the leap a little easier, but it also provided a rare opportunity for some much-needed mum and daughter time, something that doesn't happen as often as both would like.

Looking back now, Patricia wonders what she was ever worried about.

The people she met, the experiences she shared, and the welcoming atmosphere created throughout the weekend were simply amazing. From start to finish, everyone was kind, supportive and encouraging. The retreat quickly became more than just yoga; it became a community of women supporting one another, sharing stories, laughter and life experiences.

Patricia would also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful women who attended. You each played a part in making the weekend so special. Your warmth, friendship, encouragement and positivity helped create memories that will last a lifetime. It was a privilege to spend the weekend with such an inspiring group of women. Thank you for wanting to know more about Gaynors Goal and the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer.

What made the weekend even more special was a reunion at the end of the retreat. Over lunch, Patricia had the chance to catch up with Mas's husband. Not just any husband, but an old friend Jon, from her very first posting with the Royal Military Police at 170 Pro Coy, Edinburgh Castle.

The last time they had seen each other was more than 21 years ago when they were both serving as instructors at Southwick Park. As if the weekend had not already provided enough reflection and connection, it also offered the opportunity to reconnect and have a long over due catch up. Sometimes life has a wonderful way of bringing people back together when you least expect it.

Patricia has returned feeling refreshed, re-energised and incredibly grateful for the experience. In fact, she was so impressed that she's already eyeing up Mas's two overseas Yoga Retreats taking place next year... Tuscany, Italy and Bali… who’s in?

And if you've never experienced a yoga retreat before, Patricia would wholeheartedly recommend it. She went along feeling outside of her comfort zone and came away wondering what she was ever worried about.

A huge thank you to Mas for creating such a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment and once again to our anonymous donor whose act of kindness made it all possible.

And whilst we're talking about the Baton Challenge... 👀

As many of you know, Grace is now the current custodian of the Gaynor's Goal Baton. The big question is...

💜 Who do you think Grace will hand the Baton to next? 💜 Where in the UK, or perhaps even beyond, do you think the Baton will travel next?

Drop your predictions in the comments below and let's see who gets closest! 👇

The Annaka Challenge… and she did it!

Yesterday, you saw the video of George handing over the baton to Grace at the LGBTQ+ Defence Awards in London.

Today, before we share where Grace has taken the baton next, we wanted to share a little story we promised you! 👀

One of our eagle-eyed supporters spotted the clues in a previous post about where the handover would take place. But instead of posting her guess in the comments, she decided to put on her detective hat and go looking for the baton herself! 🕵️‍♀️

She took on what she described as the “Annaka Challenge” to see if she could track down the baton, find its custodians and pop along to say hello!

And guess what? SHE DID IT! 🎉👏💜

💜 Meet Deborah! 💜

Not only was Debs attending the awards as a finalist in the Veteran Category, but she was also on her own important mission as the founder of SisterForce C.I.C, working to .

Debs followed the clues, tracked down the baton and met the wonderful custodians looking after it along the way!

📸 Swipe through the pictures! 💜

The first picture features four serving officers of the Royal Military Police 1 Military Police Brigade who are friends and had the privilege of working alongside one, or both, Gaynor and Paula over the years.

Sadly, we lost both Gaynor and Paula (RMP Veterans) to ovarian cancer. Gaynor passed away in December 2024, aged just 49 and Paula in March 2025, aged just 50.

💜 A little recap for our amazing new followers! 💜

First of all, THANK YOU for being here and joining our journey! 🫶 Every new follower helps us reach more people, share our message and keep Gaynor's and Paula’s memory alive.

We are here to honour Gaynor's wishes by supporting St. Rocco's Hospice and raising vital awareness of ovarian cancer. 💜

Both causes mean so much to us. We want to help St Rocco's Hospice continue its incredible work supporting individuals and families in our community, while raising awareness of ovarian cancer so that more women recognise the signs and symptoms and seek help.

💜 Could you help us make a difference? 💜

If you can support our two chosen charities by donating, even the cost of a little treat or a coffee ☕🍰, every contribution can help them continue their amazing work.

https://gvwhl.com/INPUI

Together, we hope to support the communities that need them, raise awareness, and help create a future where ovarian cancer is recognised earlier and no other woman's life is lost to this devastating disease.

Every donation, share, comment and conversation helps us take another step towards that goal. Thank you for being part of it.

We absolutely LOVE seeing our community Military coming together, sharing memories, making connections and embracing the spirit behind the baton. Gaynors Goal is aimed at Every community, every conversation, every story and every person who joins this journey helps keep us raising vital awareness and support.

And Debs, you certainly embraced the challenge! 👏

👀 But where has Grace taken the baton next?

You'll have to watch this space… more coming soon!

The Baton Handover Continues...

Last night you will have seen a teaser of where the baton was heading next...

One eagle-eyed supporter not only cracked all the clues but also managed to hunt the baton down for a photo! But more on that tomorrow...

For now, let's get back to the official handover.

To recap, George has been our Baton Custodian over the last week. She shared her personal "why", took the baton along to Parkrun, raised awareness by briefing her colleagues on the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer and proudly championed the message behind Gaynor's Goal.

Last night, George handed the baton over to our newest Gaynor's Goal Custodian and friend, Grace.

Grace is a long-standing friend of Patricia and much like Gaynor, served in 160 Provost Company. Whilst Grace served in a different era to Gaynor, the connection and shared values remain just as strong. Including both Gaynor's and Grace's love of women's football.

But where will Grace take the baton? Who will she hand it over to? And when?

You'll have to stay tuned to find out... 👀

Last night, George and Grace attended the LGBT+ Defence Awards in London, where our good friend Holly, OC of 160 Pro Coy was nominated for an award. Taking advantage of the occasion and the fantastic platform it provided, they conducted the baton handover amongst friends, allies and supporters from across the Defence community.

The baton moves on, the conversations continue and Gaynor's legacy keeps growing and we must remember her wishes: To support St. Rocco's Hospice who cared for her with such care and dignity in her last week and raise vital awareness of Ovarian Cancer.

If you were able to support our two chosen charities this year with the cost of a cup of coffee, you would really help make a difference:

https://gvwhl.com/INPUI

Thank you all for your continued support in helping us get the message out about the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer.

Weeing more often
Overly bloated feeling
Reduced appetite
Dull ache or pain in the pelvis or tummy

There are other signs, however, if you have any of these signs for more than a few weeks, go speak to your GP. It may be nothing... but you know your body, so listen to it!

🚨 THE BIG QUESTION:

Where do YOU think the Baton is heading next and who will it be handed over to?

Or whether we’re all going to have to wait until TOMORROW! 😱

So come on… DON’T BE SHY!

👇 PUT YOUR GUESS IN THE COMMENTS! 👇

📍 Where is the Baton going?

🙋‍♀️ Who’s receiving it?

🔎 What clue have you spotted?

And remember…

Because every share could help us reach someone new someone who wants to get ON BOARD with what we’re trying to achieve…

(And no… you don’t need to get on the train! 🚂😂)

This Baton is about much more than a journey.

💜 Gaynor’s wishes remain at the heart of everything we do:
💜 Support St Rocco’s Hospice in any way we can.
💜 Raise vital awareness of Ovarian Cancer.

Don’t just scroll past… GET INVOLVED!

You never know… your guess might be the one that cracks it! 🕵️‍♀️🔎

💙 351 FOLLOWERS… AND WE COULDN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU! 💙

Firstly, from all of us at Gaynor’s Goal, we want to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has liked, commented on and shared our posts.

Every like, every comment and every share helps us reach more people and ultimately, that means more people hearing about Ovarian Cancer, its signs and symptoms, and the importance of getting them checked.

So, for those who are new to Gaynor’s Goal, here’s a little bit about why we do what we do.

Gaynor Hamill-Morgan sadly passed away from Ovarian Cancer aged just 49.

Gaynor had served in the Royal Military Police, as had her wife, Patricia. Before Gaynor passed away, she instructed Patricia to raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer, with the hope that by doing so, another woman and her family might be spared the devastating loss of a loved one.

Patricia made that promise to Gaynor.

Our good friend Paula was also an important part of this story. Paula trained alongside Patricia, first in Guildford and then during their trade training in Chichester. They remained close friends and Paula was also a great friend of Gaynor.

Tragically, Paula went on to lose her own battle with Ovarian Cancer, passing away just three months after Gaynor, aged 50.

At Paula’s funeral, Patricia shared her vision with George, the vision Gaynor had entrusted to her.
That conversation stayed with George.

Since then, George has continued speaking to people about Ovarian Cancer, helping to raise awareness of the signs and symptoms and why knowing them really matters.

Today, George is our current Gaynor’s Goal Baton Custodian and she is taking that message even further.

The photographs we’re sharing today show George briefing the current Close Protection course on the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer before they headed off for a nice CP PT session.

And for those who know… know! 💪

But behind the laughs and the PT is something incredibly important.

It’s about keeping Gaynor’s voice alive.

It’s about honouring a promise.

It’s about remembering Gaynor, Paula and every woman impacted by Ovarian Cancer.

And, most importantly, it’s about making sure that more women and the people around them know the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer.

Because awareness can save lives. 💙

👀 BUT… THERE’S MORE!

George has dropped a little hint…

She has told us that today… Thursday, somewhere, at some time, she will be handing the baton over to someone new. 🏃‍♀️💙

So the question is…

WHO will become the next Gaynor’s Goal Baton Custodian?

And perhaps more importantly…

WHERE will the handover take place? 👀

We’re not saying anything just yet! 🤫

But we want to hear your guesses…

👇 Who do you think it will be? And where do you think George will hand over the baton?

Get guessing, tag someone who you think might know, and keep your eyes peeled… 👀💙

351 followers… let’s see if we can reach 400!

Thank you for continuing to support Gaynor’s Goal and helping us keep this incredibly important message moving forward.

Keep the baton moving. Keep the awareness growing. Save lives. 💙

After that amazing video George kindly shared yesterday, she did promise she would share some more photos of where the Gaynors Goal Baton has been during her time as its custodian… 🎗️💚

And, judging by these photos, we can confirm one thing…

That baton is VERY well protected!🛡️

As the OC of the Close Protection Unit, she is clearly taking her responsibilities as baton custodian very seriously!

Even while carrying an injury, she headed along to Hogmoor Inclosure to volunteer at the Park Run. Always leading by example 🫡

While there, she spoke with the Run Director and briefed him about Gaynors Goal and our mission to raise awareness of Ovarian Cancer.

It wasn’t long before some eagle-eyed runners spotted the baton and naturally, wanted to know more! 👀🎗️

And THIS is exactly what Gaynors Goal is all about.

It’s about getting people talking.
It’s about answering questions.
It’s about sharing information.

And, most importantly, it’s about raising vital awareness of the signs and symptoms of Ovarian Cancer.

So, whilst the baton may have its very own ‘bodyguard’ its real mission is to get out there, be seen and start conversations. 💚

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has shared our posts across your own social media platforms and to everyone who has taken the time to leave such lovely, supportive comments. 🥰

Your shares, comments and conversations really do help Gaynors Goal reach more people, so please, let’s keep them coming! 📣💚

And now we want to hear from YOU…

👀 Who do you think will be the next Gaynors Goal Baton custodian?

📍 And where do you think the next handover might take place?

We’d love to hear your guesses, so get commenting! 👇

If you would like to support the Gaynors Goal Baton Challenge, like all of our amazing baton custodians to date, please reach out to us. Just like so many others have already done, you could become part of the journey and help us continue spreading this important message.

And if you have a personal story, experience or connection to Ovarian Cancer that you would be willing to share, we would be incredibly grateful to hear from you. 💚

Personal stories can be powerful. They help others feel less alone, encourage conversations and, most importantly, can help someone recognise that something they are experiencing shouldn’t be ignored.

Every share. Every comment. Every conversation. Every story.

Together, they all help raise awareness.

So… where will that baton be spotted next? 🎗️👀

Today we hear from George, the current custodian of the Gaynors Goal Baton, as she shares her story and helps us continue to raise awareness of ovarian cancer. 💙

George has shared about why she wanted to take part in the Gaynors Goal Challenge, and it’s a story that is very close to her heart.

Her involvement is also a tribute to her friendship with Paula, a Royal Military Police Veteran and someone who was physically fit, active and full of life.

Her story is a powerful reminder that ovarian cancer does not discriminate. It can affect women of any age, background or fitness level. Being fit and healthy does not mean you are immune.

💙 Know the WORD symptoms of ovarian cancer:
W — Weeing more often
O — Overly bloated feeling
R — Reduced appetite
D — Dull ache or pain in the pelvis or tummy

Whilst there is currently no routine screening programme for ovarian cancer, George did visit her GP and ask for a CA125 blood check. Her story highlights the importance of knowing the symptoms, listening to your body and speaking to your GP if something doesn’t feel right.

These are the key symptoms highlighted by the Dianne Oxberry Trust’s Spread the Word campaign. Take just three minutes to learn the symptoms and help spread the word.

And today’s challenge is about so much more than simply passing a baton. 🏃‍♀️💙

It’s about remembering those we have lost, supporting those going through ovarian cancer, raising awareness and making sure more women know the signs and symptoms.

George’s friendship with Paula is a beautiful reminder of why this matters. 💙

But there’s another little clue in today’s video… 👀

George has hinted that the Gaynors Goal Baton is being handed over this Thursday! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

So the big question is…

🤔 WHO will be the next custodian?
📍 And WHERE will the baton be heading?

We’re keeping the identity under wraps for now… but we want to hear your guesses!

👇 Drop your predictions in the comments!

And make sure you’re following Gaynors Goal so you don’t miss the next handover! 💙

If you or someone you know is experiencing:
🎈Persistent bloating
🍽️Loss of appetite or feeling full quickly
⚡Abdominal pain
🚽Needing to wee more urgently or more often than usual

Don't dismiss it. An early ovarian cancer diagnosis dramatically increases chances of survival, meaning better outcomes for everyone affected. 💜

💜 GAYNOR’S GOAL: THE JOURNEY SO FAR… 💜

As we prepare to begin a fresh week, we’ve spent some time over the weekend reflecting on the journey so far with Gaynor’s Goal.

First and foremost, we want to thank everyone who has given their time, shared their voice, offered their platform or simply stood alongside us in supporting Gaynor’s Legacy and helping us keep a promise.

Gaynor was very clear in her final week at the hospice about her wishes: to support St Rocco’s Hospice and to raise awareness of ovarian cancer.

We made a promise, and we intend to keep it.

Although Gaynor’s wishes began long before then, we feel that Gaynor’s Goal, in its current guise, officially took shape on what would have been Gaynor’s 50th birthday, 18 April 2025, when supporters had already signed up to take part in the St. Rocco's Hospice Colour Run in May 2025.

And from there, the journey began to grow…

🏃‍♀️ The St Rocco’s Colour Run, our first collective step towards honouring Gaynor’s wishes.

🏊‍♀️🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️ Pippa’s 10-100-10 Challenge, a huge undertaking involving a 10km swim, a 100km bike ride and a 10km run!

💜 The Dame Kelly Holmes Official Athena Effect in London, we were honoured to attend and incredibly grateful to the wonderful Dr Alison for linking us in with Dame Kelly. This gave us another valuable platform to raise awareness of ovarian cancer.

⚽ The female football tournament in Manchester, hosted at Mersey Valley Football Club, this brought together female serving members from units across the British Army, female veterans and a local female football club. All came together through football, friendship and a shared desire to honour Gaynor’s wishes.

🥂 The Black Tie Dinner at Manchester United, Old Trafford, later that evening, we were fortunate to bring friends and family together for a special formal dinner in support of the cause.

Along the way, we’ve met some truly wonderful people who have become part of this journey.

A huge thank you to our good friend Starling, whom we met through the Athena event; Zanda Magic, who performed at Gaynor and Patricia’s wedding; and Robin, whom we met through another amazing and worthy charity, George’s Cancer Journey, supporting children affected by eye cancer.

There is also someone else whose story is very much part of this journey, our dear friend Paula. 💜

Paula was a friend to both Gaynor and Patricia, and all three had served with the Royal Military Police, 1 Military Police Brigade.

Sadly, just three months after Gaynor passed away, Paula also passed away from ovarian cancer.

Paulas journey, her friendship with Gaynor and Patricia, and the circumstances surrounding her own battle with ovarian cancer are an important part of why raising awareness and talking about this disease matters so much to us.

So, please keep following our page, because we’ll be sharing more about Paula very soon. 💜

This video doesn’t capture our good friend Al and his running challenge, because later on we’ll be sharing more about Al and the fantastic Farnborough Pickleball crew!

We also need to give a massive shout-out to our friends at BPB Projects. Not only did they support our Black Tie Dinner with their amazing décor skills, but they also produced the Gaynor’s Goal merchandise, including our T-shirts and, of course, the now-infamous Gaynor’s Goal Baton! 💜

And that brings us to where we are today…

🏃‍♀️ THE GAYNOR’S GOAL BATON CHALLENGE! 🏃‍♂️

The baton is proving to be so much more than an object being passed from person to person. It is opening doors, starting conversations and giving us opportunities to talk about ovarian cancer, share Gaynor’s story and raise awareness of the signs and symptoms.

💜 A HUGE THANK YOU TO OUR BATON CUSTODIANS! 💜

We want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to all of our amazing Baton Custodians so far:

Joe, Eto, Mel, Arron, Cathy, Sam, Lucy Anne, Sharon, Zoe, Wendy, Al (and the Farnborough Pickleball Club massive), Karen, Rob and, most recently, George.

Each and every one of you has played your part in helping the baton keep moving, but more importantly, in helping Gaynor’s Goal keep moving.

A special mention to Sam, who shared some of her own personal experiences as part of the journey. Sharing personal stories and experiences can take courage and we are incredibly grateful that you chose to use your experience to help raise awareness and support Gaynor’s Goal. 💜

And, of course, we know the baton hasn’t simply travelled from one custodian to the next…

There have been surprises, unexpected adventures, fantastic conversations, new connections and some brilliant moments along the way!

If you haven’t managed to keep up with all of the handovers or, in fact, all the surprises in between, please take a moment to revisit the Gaynor’s Goal social media pages and follow the adventures the baton has been on so far.

You might be surprised where it has been… and who it has met! 👀💜

And to everyone who has expressed an interest in welcoming the baton, thank you for being patient!

We have your names and locations from the Expressions of Interest, and honestly, we will come to you, so please do not fret! We haven’t forgotten you. Your turn will come. 💜

Since leaving Warrington, the baton seems to have developed a mind of its own! 😂

And you know what?

That’s absolutely fine with us.

Because ultimately, it doesn’t matter how quickly the baton travels or exactly where it goes next.

What matters is that it keeps moving forward, opening doors, starting conversations and raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

And sometimes, the baton doesn’t even need to be present for the Gaynor’s Goal message to be heard.

A wonderful recent example of this was Steph’s Dine Out with the RAF, where Steph used her Dine Out as an opportunity to raise awareness of Gaynor’s Goal and ovarian cancer.

This is exactly what we hoped Gaynor’s Goal would become, a message that travels beyond the baton itself.

A conversation that can happen anywhere.

A story that can be shared by anyone.

The baton is simply helping us open those doors and create those opportunities.

But the message belongs to all of us. 💜

If the baton is doing that, then we know Gaynor would be very happy indeed.

So, to everyone patiently waiting for the baton, thank you for your understanding.

To everyone who has already taken part, thank you.

To everyone who has shared a post, started a conversation, organised an event, taken on a challenge, worn the merchandise, carried the baton or simply listened to Gaynor’s story, thank you.

And to everyone who has used their own platform, event, workplace, sporting activity, dinner or gathering to talk about Gaynor’s Goal and ovarian cancer, thank you.

You are helping keep Gaynor’s voice alive.

Every conversation matters.

Every person who listens matters.

Every person who shares our message matters.

💜 AND NOW, A LITTLE MILESTONE… 💜

We are now at 349 followers on the Gaynor’s Goal page!

To each and every one of you, thank you. You have already made a difference simply by being here, following our journey, engaging with our posts, sharing our message and helping us keep Gaynor’s legacy moving forward.

349 people may be a number, but behind that number are 349 opportunities to reach someone, start a conversation, share awareness and potentially make a difference.

Now imagine the difference we can make together as that number continues to grow.

💜 THE BATON HAS BEEN HANDED OVER… AND WE GO AGAIN! 💜

You may remember that Karen handed the Gaynor’s Goal Baton over to Warrant Officer Class One (WO1) Policing Rob in Aldershot. Well, we’re delighted to share that the Baton has now moved on again… but I bet you didn’t see this next handover coming! 👀💜

First, we must say a HUGE THANK YOU to everyone at 160 Pro Coy 1 Military Police Brigade for supporting Gaynor’s Goal. We know that 160 is a busy operational policing unit, with so many moving parts, and we’re incredibly grateful that they have taken the time to support us and help spread awareness of ovarian cancer throughout their company. 💜

And now, the next chapter…

Today, Rob handed the Baton over to George, the Officer Commanding (OC) of the Royal Military Police Close Protection Unit! 👏💜

For those who may not know, the OC is responsible for the overall command, leadership and day-to-day running of the unit, ensuring that its people are trained, supported and ready to carry out their important operational duties. It’s a significant role, and we’re so grateful that George is helping carry our message forward.

Now, George had never met Gaynor, but she was good friends with Patricia and our friend Paula. Sadly, Paula passed away just three months after Gaynor from Ovarian Cancer💔

The last time George caught up with Patricia was at Paula’s funeral in Northern Ireland. Among the many conversations that day, George, Patricia and others spoke about what they could do to help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.

And today, that conversation has taken another step forward. 💜

George has now taken the Baton and we’re excited to see what happens next!

The Royal Military Police Close Protection Unit trains close protection operatives, the professionals tasked with protecting others and its personnel also deploy around the world.

So, we reckon the Gaynor’s Goal Baton is definitely in safe hands! 😉💜

👀 And here’s a little teaser… we have a feeling there may be more to come!

Where will the Baton go next? Who will take up the challenge? And how many more people can we reach with this important message?

💜 NOW IT’S OVER TO YOU… GET ON BOARD! 💜

We need your help to get the message out there!
