This year 1,532 Australian women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer, one of themost fatal women’s cancers. The survival rate for women with ovarian cancer is just 46% five years following their
diagnosis. WomenCan raises valuable funds for the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group’s (ANZGOG) vital ovarian cancer research. The research focuses on the need to improve outcomes for women’s survival and quality of life through clinical trials. For women with ovarian cancer, being able to participate in a clinical trial provides themwith hope now and for the future. For a 6 week period across February and March each year, WomenCan, in collaboration with the harness racing industry, runs the Team Teal campaign. This raises funds for ANZGOG’s pioneering research and raises awareness of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. Clubs Tasmania, as part of the Tasmanian Hospitality Association, supported the Downton Property, Charity Golf Day on Friday 13 March, held at Claremont Golf Club with three teams, two from State Sporting Associations and one led by CEO, Steve Old. A stunning day, some good and bad golf, some laughter and of course, some awesome hospitality courtesy of PFD Foods and CUB, alongside the Tasmanian Trotting Club, our efforts contributed to a little over $8 000 being raised.
