John and Helene Harris together in 1984, just one year before her death from ovarian cancer.
John Harris set up the Helene Harris Memorial Trust (HHMT) in 1986 following the death of his wife Helene aged 48, from ovarian cancer. During her treatment John travelled to New York to seek advice, and found himself acting as a conduit between clinicians, who began sharing information through him.

HHMT was thus formed to provide a structure where many clinicians and scientists from around the world, could meet and exchange views on the latest work. John Harris received an MBE for his work in ovarian cancer in 1996, and a CBE in 2005. Since 2000, his daughter Allyson Harris Kaye has continued to build this unique international research community.

HHMT was recently honoured by the International Gynaecologic Cancer Society at its 10 th biennial meeting in Edinburgh, October 2004. John Harris collected a special award, made to the Trust, in front of 1800 delegates, to recognise the unique contribution it has made to the development of understanding of ovarian cancer.

In order to raise the profile of the disease, and the need for further research, HHMT is using a new name for its UK awareness and fundraising work. We feel it reflects our commitment to making a difference. HHMT will continue its work in the medical professional field, internationally.
