Peter will be riding for his wife Claire to raise funds for vital ovarian cancer research

Hope Teal There’s A Cure

Thanks to the ongoing generosity of supporters, individual, families, corporate and community groups helping raise so far over $28,000 for research. We are almost at our target of $30,000. Most people are surprised to learn that ovarian cancer is not one disease but several distinct types and subtypes. Each type differs with its prognosis, how it is spread and how it is treated. Ovarian cancer needs more research to be able to improve the low survival rate of 46%. For ovarian cancers that are rare, like Granulosa Cell Tumour – GCT and its two sub types adult Granulosa Cell Tumour […]

Australian researchers leading the way for a rare ovarian cancer.

Australian researchers at the Hudson Institute of Medical Research are leading the way for Granulosa Cell Tumour (GCT), a rare ovarian cancer. The researchers have an opportunity to undertake enhanced DNA testing called Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS) that could hold the answers for both subtypes of GCT adult GCT and Juvenile GCT. ROC Inc. aim is to raise the $30,000 needed to help get this testing underway. With no effective treatments for this recurrent cancer, we need to act now to save lives. Every dollar you can contribute counts. Donation Page Donate now or start your own fundraiser or team.
