We’ve officially crossed the halfway mark — over $50,000 raised toward our $100,000 goal for Ride 4 Research 2026.
Every kilometre, every donation, every rider is pushing rare ovarian cancer research forward. This momentum belongs to our community — riders, families, researchers, supporters, and the sponsors who stand with us.
Let’s keep the wheels turning. Let’s push research further. Let’s change futures.

🌿 Turning Lived Experience Into Lifesaving Research for Rare Ovarian Cancer
At ROC Inc, we know that progress happens when lived experience is not only heard — it is valued, respected, and transformed into action.
This story from AAMRI’s 100 Lab Coats series highlights exactly that. It showcases the groundbreaking work of the Hudson Institute of Medical Research Simon Chu team and the global GCT Survivor Sisters community, whose shared experiences created the world’s largest dataset for Granulosa Cell Tumours.
It also includes our founder, Tasha Armour, whose daughter was diagnosed at just 16 years old, which made navigating a disease often perceived as affecting older females even more challenging. Their journey exposed the gaps, delays, and uncertainty faced by those living with rare ovarian cancers.
This is why ROC Inc exists: to ensure that every female diagnosed with a rare ovarian cancer has access to information, support, and research that reflects their reality.
This is what happens when stories become science.
When community becomes data.
When lived experience becomes the catalyst for change.

A diagnosis of ovarian cancer is devastating for anyone – it’s a condition with a stubbornly low survival rate – but when you have a particularly rare form of the disease, life becomes even hard...0 CommentsComment on Facebook
Some rides are for fitness. This one is for futures.
Ride 4 Research is where community meets purpose — where every pedal stroke fuels research that can change the trajectory of rare ovarian cancers.
We ride for the females navigating uncertainty. We ride for the families holding hope. We ride for the stories that deserve better outcomes than the ones the statistics predict.
Your support helps turn lived experience into research impact. The kilometers help push science toward earlier detection, better treatments, and one day — a cure.
💙 Ride with us. Donate. Share. Show up. Together, we move research forward.
