September is Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month. The AGCF is the only Foundation in Australia funding laboratory research into all such malignancies. The gynaecological cancers are those that involve the female reproductive organs, the vulva, vagina, cervix (neck of the womb), uterus (womb), fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Malignancies of the placenta (afterbirth) and peritoneum (lining of the abdomen) are also treated by gynaecological oncologists.

For over a decade, Kerry Anne Johnston has championed the Society of Women Leaders, a powerful network driving action, advocacy, and lasting change through collective female leadership.

At Bayard we believe every girl deserves an equal start in life. We’re proud to be a major supporter of Harding Miller and the scholarships they give to young women a bright and meaningful future.

At the heart of Bayard lies the need to carry the load by highlighting programs in need of funding, showing compassion, making connections, and helping make a difference. So our decision to back this fantastic charity was only natural.

Meet Rose-Marie Hillier. I love holding Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Teas because we all come together with a common purpose, to raise necessary funds for cancer research.

One year ago, I was diagnosed with aggressive adenocarcinoma cervical cancer and it changed my life. I needed an urgent radical hysterectomy surgery and had several complications post-op, requiring six hospital admissions over several months.
