ROCAN: STOP OVARIAN CANCER
|
 | | RoCan Founder,
Yvonne Moon
|
|  | In Australia alone 1,300 women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. This cancer is advanced before it is diagnosed, which is why it is known as the ‘Silent Killer’.
|
|
|
RoCan is a project aimed at:
|
| - Raising public awareness of the disease in the community
- Raising funds for research to develop an early screening test
- Discovering through research, the genes involved in the spread of ovarian cancer
- Involving more Rotary Clubs in the ovarian cancer awareness campaign
|
| Rotary District 9800 is very proud to support this worthy project and congratulates its founder, Yvonne Moon on receiving a Medal of the Order of Australia in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for 2007 for her tireless efforts in raising the awareness of ovarian cancer. Yvonne is a member of the Rotary Club of Williamstown.
