23.01.2022 Maree Prentice ROC Inc founding Board member, an enthusiastic committee & fundraising member our pocket rocket. Her passion to bring more awareness for Ovarian cancer and the push for funding fairness for research to improve the 5 year survival rate of 46%. Maree diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer her journey like so many diagnosed with ovarian cancer is one hell of a roller coast ride of treatments, blood tests, scans and many hospital trips. Maree is back in hospital at... the moment and we are sharing her heartfelt message for you. "Please keep the conversation going" We send all our love and support to you, you are so inspiring Maree Maree's message. Hi all our very supportive & wonderful friends, I was as usual blown away by the beautiful words of support, love & encoragment for myself & family after our Daughter Ally kept you updated, thanks beautiful. I am improving daily thanks to the dedicted & again caring Nurses, Doctor's & staff at Wollongong Public Hospital I applaud them for all they do for us. I have been so lucky to have you all by our side during this very unpleasant journey of Ovarian Cancer, a disease No Woman or girl should have to endure although I'm never giving up the fight for myself, others in my position & my loving & Caring Family & friends. I will continue to fight alongside ROC inc for more awarness & funding for our ongoing research. Which has already commenced thanks to funding we successfully achieved due to our founder Tasha Armour & team, also the ongoing donations that you have most generously given since ROC inc was lauched. We hope to one day soon to have a SCREENING TEST for early detection, over 70% of females are diagnosed at late stage of this disease! More awareness and funded research is needed in order to save many girls to Women lives, you only have to see the success of Breast Cancer 91% survival rate over 5 years as apposed to 46% for Ovarian Cancer. Those stats should be the same! It's all about awarness & funding. Ovarian Cancer this insideous disease & its poor survival rate should be shouted from the roof tops. Please keep the conversation going. Again my heart felf thanks to you all. I am so very lucky and grateful to have your support.

Please support us by donating today for answers for the future. https://rocinc.org.au/donate/ #RockforROC #ROCInc #ovariancancer #ovariancancerawareness #rare #researchiskey #GCTresearch #teal #childhoodcancer #hope #gold

21.01.2022 Today is R U OK? Day - a national day of action when we remind Australians that every day is the day to ask, Are you OK? The message for R U OK?Day 2020 is: 'THERE'S MORE TO SAY AFTER R U OK?' You don’t have to be an expert to keep the conversation going when someone says they’re not OK. By knowing what to say you can help someone feel supported and access appropriate help long before they’re in crisis, which can make a really positive difference to their life.... If they say they’re not OK make the time to ask, listen, encourage action and check in. For more tips on how to ask R U OK? visit: https://www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask

20.01.2022 This year it is estimated that 1600 Australian girls to women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer. There is NO national screening test and over 70% will be diagnosed with late stage ovarian cancer. We need to be aware of the symptoms so we can improve the survival rate of 46% and save lives. These 6 brave women share their stories to bring more awareness to ovarian cancer and the symptoms to be aware of. Ovarian cancer affects females of all ages from babies to menopausal... women.

19.01.2022 It is with a heavy heart that I share with you all the passing of Britt Alberts. Another young life taken away by ovarian cancer too soon. Britt was diagnosed with Juvenile Granulosa Cell Tumour (jGCT) 8 years ago at the age of 22. This amazing young lady shared her knowledge and journey with so many affected by GCT. She impacted so many lives in so many ways, including ours. Britt was a great influence in the treatment for my daughter Mikayla. jGCT had no research so we nee...d to rely on each other for lived experience and support. Britt was one of the first members for the Rock for ROC group helping me when I was setting it up in January 2018. Sunday 13th September at 8pm Mikayla and I have the honour of being asked to start a candlelight vigil in memory of Britt on the GCT Survivor Sister a private group for those diagnosed with GCT. We will post at the same time on our Facebook group Rock for ROC if you would like to join us by posting a photo of your candle or a painted rock as a tribute to Britt. I have made a special angel rock for her which will have beside our candle when we light it at 8pm. We send our heartfelt condolences to her family and friends at this difficult time.

16.01.2022 Congratulations to our wonderful CEO Tasha Armour who recently won the Outstanding Commitment to the Community Award at the 2020 Illawarra Women In Business Awards. The team at ROC Inc, inspired by Tasha’s commitment and focus, have worked hard to raise awareness of JGCT. Last year this led to the initiation of the world’s first research to find a treatment and potentially a cure for JGCT. Earlier this year the Federal Government announced that, for the first time ever, it wo...uld fund research into JGCT. ROC Inc are very proud that we were able to have a significant influence on that decision. Tasha and the ROC Inc team would like to thank our families, friends, the wonderful team of researchers at the Hudson Institute, the patients/ participants from all over the world who donated their tumour samples and, of course, the community who have supported us through donations and participation in events. This award belongs to all of you, without your help we would not have had such success in creating awareness for JGCT, raising funding for and initiating research that will help save the lives of babies, children and women. #ovariancancer #rare #jGCT #ROCInc #RockforROC #awareness #IWIB #Community #awards #Cancer #teal #researchiskey https://www.illawarramercury.com.au//mothers-love-for-tee/

06.01.2022 Do you have a mother like mine and has everything she needs. Stuck for something to give her. Well as a mum for me research into Ovarian cancer is vitally important not only for my future however for young women and ladies that could be affected by this in the future. Imagine if your donation could save another women's life. So this year we at ROC Inc ask that you donate and give the gift of research into rare ovarian cancer. ... No previous research into this disease means no answers to move forward for treatments or clinical trials. Granulosa cell cancers have a recurrent nature which for those affected means that it can return after a long length of time and requires a lifetime of monitoring. That is why this research is so vital. So please give the gift of research this year by visiting https://rocinc.org.au/donate/ today. #ROCInc #ROCKForROC #jGCT #aGCT #ResearchIsKey
