Rods & Ribbons: Casting for a Cause
Rods & Ribbons, the UK’s first all-ladies sea angling team, has made a distinctive mark on the angling community since their formation. Comprised of members Gemma, Emma, Izzy, and Hannah, the team is united by a love for the sea and a commitment to making a difference. While they find solace and strength in the rhythmic ebb and flow of the ocean, their journey is driven by a deeper purpose: raising awareness and funds for Cancer Research UK. Rods & Ribbons
A Shared Mission of Resilience
Personal experiences with cancer have galvanized the team's resolve to fight this relentless disease, creating an unbreakable bond among the members. To ensure their efforts have a tangible impact, the team has set an ambitious goal for 2026: to reach a fundraising target of £20,000, building on the substantial funds raised in previous years. This mission transforms their participation in the sport into a platform for advocacy, symbolizing a dual commitment to sea angling and the fight against cancer.

Empowering the Journey: KANAMA's Role
Achieving such ambitious fundraising and awareness goals requires more than just determination; it requires strong support systems to amplify the message. Partnerships play a vital role in empowering the team to achieve their mission of hope and inclusivity. To address this need, KANAMA has stepped in as a key partner to support Rods & Ribbons. As part of its support, KANAMA provides the backing necessary for the team—ranging from novice anglers to experienced sailors—to compete effectively and maximize their outreach. This partnership strengthens the team’s efforts, allowing them to cast their lines not just for fish, but to reel in hope and support for those affected by cancer.
