ADVANCE RESREACH, SAVES LIVES
helps raise vital funds for research
Every day, more than 19 Australian women are diagnosed with a gynaecological cancer, and every four hours, one woman dies. Over the past 25 years, gynaecological cancers survival rates have improved by only 7% while cancer survival has improved by 17%.
Gather your fellow members and form a running team at work, or join an existing one. You can also take on the challenge solo by joining our running squad. Support women’s cancer research by lacing up in WomenCan running gear as you train, race, and run for this important cause.
Your support is vital to the ongoing improvement of treatment options and saving the lives of women in Australia.

RUN FOR RESEARCH IN YOUR CITY
SUPPORT VITAL RESEARCH TO SAVE WOMEN’S LIVES NATIONWIDE.
Why help us?
Everyday over 19 women are diagnosed in Australia, with one death every four hours. In 25 years survival rates have improved only 7%, with other cancer survival rates improving 17%. Gynaecological cancers are critically under-funded. We need your help to change these statistics and fight for the 6,777 women diagnosed every year.
WomenCan fundraise for gynaecological cancer research conducted by the Australia New Zealand Gynaecological Oncology Group. Leading women’s cancer research to drive improved treatment pathways and better outcomes for women.
On average a clinical trial costs more than a million dollars, which is why the continued support of people like you is vital to improving women’s survival rates.
When we speak to women diagnosed, and their families, the consistent message is that they feel alone. Together we can help change that through raising awareness and funds for research.
How to help
It’s easy, you can either join an event in your state or choose your distance and date and set your own challenge. Choose to do it solo or join forces with your local gym, run group or workplace. You could even get your friends or local community together.
The options are endless, and we help you every step of the way with tips and tricks to help you fundraise and make the biggest impact possible for women.
If you’re stuck for idea’s but know you want to run for research just call us and we will happily help you get started.
How it works
Step 1 Register for an event or set up a fundraising page for your own challenge
Step 2 Upload your image and tell your story – this step is critical as people are more likely to donate when they can see a familiar face and hear your reason why
Step 3 Share your page with friend, family, colleagues and your community to ask for support, raise awareness and vital funds for women with a gynaecological cancer. The more you raise the more you win
All funds raised through your page go straight to WomenCan and towards research. We will help you out with a fundraising toolkit, social assets to share and more.
