Ovarian 21

Story

I'm taking part in the 2016 Melbourne Marathon Festival and hoping to raise much needed funds for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.

This is Australia's silent killer that can take the lives of our Wives, Mothers, Aunties, Sisters, Daughters and Grandmothers. This affects everybody.
 

I choosing to make a difference but I can't do it without you.  Just $10 from you and 499 others will make a difference in putting a stop to this horrendous disease.

I am honoured to be a part of this amazing race and helping a great cause, and I’d really appreciate your support in this mission 


Thank you for your support and helping to make a difference

Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation

Every eight hours, one woman dies from ovarian cancer in Australia. The key to changing this statistic is early detection.
 
Ovarian cancer is an insidious disease, often known as a “silent-killer” as symptoms are vague and often strike without warning. Unlike many other cancers there is no early detection test.  Consequently ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in its late stages and only 29% of these women will survive beyond five years of diagnosis. In comparison, survival rates increase to 90% when ovarian cancer is detected and treated early.
 
The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation is Australia’s pre-eminent ovarian cancer research body. Our goal is to raise ovarian cancer awareness and vital funds for the development of an early detection test that will save women’s lives.
 
We receive no government funding and rely on the support of our community and business supporters to assist in driving our research forward.
 
Together we can raise awareness of ovarian cancer in Australian communities and the importance of developing a detection test that identifies the level of ovarian cancer in a patient and its extent of advancement. A test that can greatly improve long-term survival rates of Australian women.
