Story
We are SUE, VICKY, LIZ, HELEN, CLAIRE, JO, ALISON, MANDY, MECHELLE, GINNY and LISA. We are walking in memory of our dear friend Katie Harwood who lost her very courageous battle against cancer earlier this year.
We have all known Katie since our school days and she was a truly special person. Katie was a keen supporter of this cause and many of us did the twilight walk with her in 2019.
Anything we can do to help other women undergoing treatment for this terrible disease has got to be a good thing. Please give generously if you are able to.
Thank you 😊
Thousands of women from every part of our community face breast cancer or gynaecological health concerns each year. While we cant stop cancer, together we can help raise funds to help treat it. This year we're focusing on raising money so we can adopt Hyperthermic Intraperitoneal Chemotherapy for patients with ovarian cancer. This is a relatively new way to administer chemotherapy to patients with advanced ovarian cancer after surgery. It does not replace the intravenous chemotherapy that patients receive, however research shows that by administering heated chemotherapy (42oC) directly to the tissues impacted by cancer after surgery can greatly benefit patients and even improve their overall survival. This is extremely important because the prognosis for advanced ovarian cancer is usually poor. We are raising funds to do what we can to improve this for every woman in our community.
