WHAT FUNDS ARE USED FOR
Through the Team Teal initiative, the harness racing community and other sporting communities are raising much needed funds for ovarian and gynaecological cancer research and education programs conducted by ANZGOG:
Funds raised throughout the Team Teal campaign support ANZGOG’s research and education program – Survivors Teaching Students, bringing ovarian and gynaecological cancer survivors into the classroom of medical students to share their lived experiences.
The funds further provide support for patients to access gynaecological cancer clinical trials, particularly in regional and remote areas, ensuring women have access to the best available care irrespective of where they live.
Thank you, Jane, for your invaluable contribution.
TEAM TEAL HISTORY
The Team Teal campaign was created by Duncan McPherson OAM who lost his wife Lyn to ovarian cancer in 2010. In failing health, Lyn began fundraising for ovarian cancer research, an initiative that Duncan connected with his passion for harness racing, co-founding Team Teal with fellow owners and trainers, Michael Taranto and Jim Connolly.
The campaign expanded from harness racing in Victoria to New South Wales in 2016, to harness racing in all Australian states in 2017 and internationally to harness racing in New Zealand in 2018.
WomenCan aims to extend the Team Teal campaign to run throughout the year with other sporting codes.
