Cherish Women's Cancer Foundation Information

Cherish Women’s Cancer Foundation raises awareness and funds vital medical research and clinical trials to be developed and implemented quickly to find kinder ways to treat women with gynaecological cancer and to ultimately improve survival rates. We fund research that optimises gynaecological cancer early detection, diagnosis, treatment, survival rates and quality of life. Each year over 6,700 Australian women and girls are diagnosed with gynaecological cancer and this number is increasing annually and almost a third will not survive their disease. Gynaecological cancers (ovarian, endometrial, cervical, and vulvar) are the third most common cancer diagnosed in Australian women. Cherish is proudly operated by a skilled and diverse volunteer board who are skilled in providing leadership, governance, and strategic direction. This enables Cherish to dedicate proceeds from our events and fundraising initiatives to help achieve our vision. Cherish has a clear vision to transform the standard care of women and girls diagnosed with gynaecological cancer from rigid, institution-centred methods to a contemporary, personalised informed approach with research to be conducted and then implemented into clinical practice.
