RIDE FOR RESEARCH
Parliament House Canberra to Melbourne Cricket Ground
30th April - 8th May 2022
Our volunteers led by Peter Reaburn will be riding from Canberra to Melbourne over 9 days to raise funds for vital ovarian cancer research.
Peter’s wife Claire was diagnosed at 53 years of age with Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumour (JGCT), a rare ovarian cancer that typically affects younger females. Claire is the oldest female in the world to have JGCT. The youngest was diagnosed in Australia at age 11 months!! Overall, 94% of patients with JGCT are under 30 years of age.
There is no cure for JGCT, nor is there research to help understand the disease. Clinicians are prescribing treatments based on “best guess” rather than facts. Research is needed and why we are riding to raise much needed funding for research.

$300.00Ovarian cancer has struck one of our family members. So I admire the ROC group of riders and wish them luck in their fund raising - and have some fun on their bikes at the same time. -

$200.00We met you on the road to Batlow & then again in Tumbarumba. When we were in Batlow Claire gave us a lovely box of flowers she’d been given whilst in hospital. We gave them to my mum’s 86 year old cousin in Tumut the next day. She loved them & the story that went with them. Our donation is for Claire & all of the women who come after her. -

Research is the Key
ROC Inc are raising funds to help 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 girls and women.
