Dance To Make a Difference

Dance to Make a Difference has been created out of a community project to raise funds and awareness for Ovarian Cancer. 
Every woman needs to know the symptoms of ovarian cancer. Make sure you do.

One in 77 women will develop ovarian cancer in their lifetime. It could be you, your sister, your mum, your gran or your girlfriend.

Each year, more than 1200 Australian women are diagnosed with ovarian cancer; around 800 will die from the disease. On average 3 Australian women are diagnosed every day.*

Unfortunately, when most women are diagnosed, their cancer will be at an advanced stage, where the cancer has spread and is very difficult to treat successfully.

More than half these women will not live for five years after their diagnosis.

But... if ovarian cancer is found in the early stages, up to 95% of women will be alive and well after five years.

More women need to be diagnosed at an early stage when ovarian cancer is very treatable.

There is currently no reliable early detection test or screening program for ovarian cancer.

Until there is a test, awareness is best.
