GIFTS IN WILLS

Leave a lasting legacy with a gift to the OCRF in your will.

I have a young daughter, Mollie. I want her and her friends to be able to grow up and have a test for ovarian cancer as part of their regular health check-up. I don’t want them to fear this, and that is my motivation for spreading the word about signs and symptoms, and raising money for research. It’s not going to save my life, but it might just save hers or one of her friends’.”

The late Kel Pittman, OCRF Ambassador

THE RESEARCH YOU WILL SUPPORT

Your donation to the OCRF supports ovarian cancer research projects across improved treatments, managing recurrence, early detection, and prevention & cure.

These are the four key research pillars that the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation focuses on funding with generous contributions from the community and government.

New and Effective Treatments

Developing more effective, gentler treatment options that can be personalised to each individual’s ovarian cancer..

Early Detection

Developing an accurate, non-invasive and accessible early detection test to ensure ovarian cancer can be diagnosed in the early stages, when survival chances are highest.

Prevention and Cure

Reducing disease prevalence through preventative and risk-based research - exploring the ability to ‘prevent’ ovarian cancer, similar to results delivered in other gynaecological cancers.

Managing Recurrence

Identifying the cause of recurrence and developing tools to monitor, measure and prevent disease recurrence.

WOMEN WITH OVARIAN CANCER DESERVE MORE THAN HALF A CHANCE TO SURVIVE.
