Philbie's Mands' Mob Fundraising Page
Story
Mands' Mob is back for 2015
One Australian Woman loses her battle with Ovarian Cancer every 10 hours. This is a statistic Mands'Mob is running to change.
Inspired by Mandy 'Mands' Herbert's now 9-year battle with Ovarian Cancer, the Herbert sisters Georgie & Penny, along with their dad Philip 'Philbie' Herbert started Mands' Mob, participating in the annual Run-Melbourne with a team of family and friends, and even a few strangers (who are now friends!).
Over the past 6 years, Mands' Mob has raised more than $164,000 for Ovarian Cancer research and awareness, and we couldn't have done it without the generous support of all of the wonderful team members and their donors, the people who come to our annual events and all our networks of famiily, friends and colleagues.
We look forward to another huge year for the Mob and being another step closer to an early detection test!
Activity
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.
