I became an ambassador for Wellbeing of Women because they campaign and fund research on issues that I am passionate about. [The charity has had a huge impact] on women's health over the last 60 years, by investing in the brightest and best minds to find the next diagnoses and treatments and to improve outcomes for women. However, despite this progress, there is still more to do to make sure that all women get the healthcare that they need.
