A Toast for Kristy
A Toast for Kristy
Story
On Friday the 4th October our dear friend Kristy Coleman would have celebrated her 30th Birthday.
In order to honour Kristys love of life and her bubbly personality what better way than to donate as a “toast” to Kristy.
You can donate the value of a glass or bottle of bubbles (perhaps of the French varietal if you’re feeling fancy) to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
Any amount that you can donate will go directly to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
On top of that Kate's Amazing Husband Brian Rooney has kindly offered a voucher for 2 nights accommodation at Peppers Guest House in the Hunter Valley including breakfast for 2 for the person who donates the highest amount over the course of this entire campaign.
Happy Birthday Kristy, you will never be forgotten.
A quick re cap for those who are just joining the campaign
We started this fundraising page with a target to raise $700. Within 2 days we reached our goal and set ourselves a target to double it on the condition that if we did, I would run home from work in the Sydney CBD to Rose Bay dressed as a Fairy. So on Friday 4th October I did just that- please see the evidence below:
Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation
Every eight hours, one woman dies from ovarian cancer in Australia. The key to changing this statistic is early detection.
Ovarian cancer is an insidious disease, often known as a “silent-killer” as symptoms are vague and often strike without warning. Unlike many other cancers there is no early detection test. Consequently ovarian cancer is often diagnosed in its late stages and only 29% of these women will survive beyond five years of diagnosis. In comparison, survival rates increase to 90% when ovarian cancer is detected and treated early.
The Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation is Australia’s pre-eminent ovarian cancer research body. Our goal is to raise ovarian cancer awareness and vital funds for the development of an early detection test that will save women’s lives.
We receive no government funding and rely on the support of our community and business supporters to assist in driving our research forward.
Together we can raise awareness of ovarian cancer in Australian communities and the importance of developing a detection test that identifies the level of ovarian cancer in a patient and its extent of advancement. A test that can greatly improve long-term survival rates of Australian women.
