Mt Kilimanjaro for Ovarian Cancer Cure

Posted by Sasha Nadezhkin
2 years ago my mum passed away from an ovarian cancer. She was diagnosed just 9 months before this. It’s very hard to watch a person you love dying and not to be able to help. But across Australia one women dies every 10 hours from an ovarian cancer! It is one of most common & lethal cancers. There is no test to diagnose it. Its symptoms are very mild & can be just a part of everyday life. It is usually found on later stages when cancer has spread to the other organs and survival chances are very low.

We decided to help getting a test & a cure quicker!

In Feb2010 I & Oleksandra will climb Mt Kilimanjaro to raise money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation. At 5,896m (19,344ft), “Kili” is the highest pick in Africa & one of the world largest free-standing mountains. We promise to work our guts out, fight all weather, altitude sickness & anything else on our way on the top. WE PAY THE COST OF THE EXPEDITION OURSELVES.

But we ask for your donation to the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation!

Please sponsor us!
Donations over $2 are tax deductible.
