What a privilege Simon, but very well deserved. You and your team are doing amazing work.
As part of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month this February, we are honoured to invite you to a special Morning Tea hosted by the NSW Health Minister, Hon Ryan Park MP . This event is organized on behalf of Rare Ovarian Cancer Incorporated (ROC Inc.) to raise awareness for Granulosa Cell Tumour (GCT), a rare and underfunded form of ovarian cancer.
Event Details: Date: Wednesday, 12th February Time: 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM Location: Jubilee Room, NSW Parliament
We are privileged to have world-renowned GCT researcher, Associate Professor Simon Chu from the Hudson Institute of Medical Research, as our guest speaker. Alongside him, patients and family members affected by GCT will also share their stories and experiences. Our research includes the youngest diagnosed patient in Australia, who was diagnosed at just 11 months old.
Additionally, there will be an opportunity to have your photo taken with the Ovarian Cancer Awareness Wings. For reference, I've attached a photo of myself and my daughter Mikayla, who was diagnosed as she turned 16 years old, with the wings.
This Morning Tea is an excellent opportunity to highlight the critical need for awareness and funding for ovarian cancer, especially rare forms like GCT. Despite the challenges, our small regional charity has initiated the world's first and only systematic research into GCT and is leading efforts to find treatment options and work towards a cure.

Wow that’s fantastic. Thank you Swim for Claire & thank you for supporting #ROCIncorporated & spreading the Ovarian Cancer awareness message
ROC Inc are helping our partners, the Hudson Institute for Medical Research in Melbourne Australia, undertake enhanced DNA testing that could hold the answers for Rare Ovarian Cancer. Researchers have an opportunity to undertake this testing at a reduced cost and every dollar you can contribute counts. Ovarian cancer does not discriminate, it affects women of all ages, and we need your help to shine a light and potentially change the lives of thousands of women.
