Ovarian Cancer – Break the Silence
It's a disease that's not well understood, that isn't talked about and not much is known about. Yet ovarian cancer is one of the most serious forms of cancer, killing one Australian woman every ten hours. Whilst it is less common than breast cancer, proportionally more women perish from ovarian cancer in Australia each year.
The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF www.ocrf.com.au) works tirelessly to increase awareness of ovarian cancer and raise much needed funds to assist researchers in their efforts to determine a simple early detection method.

National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF)
Each year, over 13 000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, making it the most common cancer among Australian women. Imagine how many other people this affects – their partners, parents, children, friends and work colleagues. A lesser-known fact is that 100 Australian men are also diagnosed with the disease each year.
While around 2600 Australians die from breast cancer each year, the good news is that NBCF are detecting breast cancer earlier and making huge advancements in the way we treat the disease. These improvements are all due to research, both in Australia and internationally.
