The AGCF Board of Directors would like to wish Kimberly Downes, our former CEO, all the very best in her future endeavours. We would also like to extend a very big thank you for her hard work and dedication to our cause.

Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynae cancer in Australia and the sixth most frequent form of cancer in women worldwide. The average age at diagnosis is 63 years, and the chances of a woman developing ovarian cancer before the age of 85 are 1 in 79.

Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day, is the one day of the year we globally raise our voices in solidarity in the fight against ovarian cancer.
