Georgia Fox has stepped down from her role as Chair of Women on the Move Against Cancer (WOMAC), after almost a decade. She will continue as Chair until the end of June and her successor will be announced in due course.
Established in 1979, WOMAC is a group of volunteers working to fight against cancer by supporting a variety of projects, searching for more effective treatments or improving the quality of life for cancer sufferers, their families and carers.
Fox said: “It was an honour to become a Patron of WOMAC back in 1988, and an even greater privilege to join the Committee in 2015.
“I was incredibly proud to be announced as Chair in 2016, taking over from the wonderful Janet Wilkinson, whose commitment and leadership during her 12-year service was truly inspiring.
“During my time as Chair, we’ve supported 14 cancer charities — the 13th and 14th will be our 2025 charities. Together with our generous supporters and the incredible Team WOMAC, we’ve donated just shy of £200,000 during my time as Chair. This achievement is a testament to the passion, dedication and generosity of everyone involved.”
WOMAC is run by volunteers across the automotive space including Friends, Patrons and a dedicated committee.
Fox concluded: “None of this would have been possible without the incredible WOMAC Committee.
“Their dedication and energy make our events not just successful, but truly meaningful. Although I’m stepping back as Chair, I’ll still be at our events, proudly wearing my Patron hat and extracting money from guests with a smile!
“I have every confidence in the next Chair and look forward to supporting her as she takes the reins and guides WOMAC into its next chapter. With heartfelt thanks to all who have supported WOMAC and me over the years, this journey has meant the world.”
