More Testimonials from the ANZGOG community
“This trip was a significant holiday for us. It was a celebration marking 3 years since being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The joy and beauty of the landscape was breathtaking. It was exhilarating.”
Ovarian cancer survivor, Jacinta Werger
“I loved this trek, and it was wonderful to connect with everyone. I dedicated the Mt Sonder summit to my late wife – I loved the trek and would do it all over again.”
2022 Participant, Lee Roberts
"Walking the Larapinta trek with WomenCan was one of the best experiences of my life, especially being with such wonderful people for 5 days in one of the most beautiful places on earth. We walked, talked, laughed, and bonded during our long walks through the breathtaking wild outback.”
ANZGOG member, Dr Gwo-Yaw Ho
“I am looking forward to getting to into nature and enjoying the Australian Outback… Most of my friends and family know about my research, but this has given me the chance to discuss in more detail what it really means and how they can improve the future for women with this disease.”
ANZGOG member Prof Linda Mileshkin
"It felt hard to ask people for donations at first but I soon realised that they are donating to help women with very bad diseases. These women could be their grandmothers, mothers, wives, sisters or even daughters. It was not so hard thereafter."
ANZGOG member, Dr Gwo-Yaw Ho
“This experience was so challenging, but what was most rewarding was getting to meet both gynae-researchers, doctors and those who had experienced gynae cancers, either themselves or through loved ones.”
ANZGOG member Dr Michelle Harris
“Absolutely fantastic. It was a lovely break from my normal life and gave me the chance to connect with patients and other ANZGOG members. Really worthwhile.”
ANZGOG member, Dr Allison Black
“A trek for the ages, with wonderful like-minded people from all our different backgrounds combined for a life experience we will never forget. Outstanding”
