Together we can save the lives of thousands of women but we need your help now.

Low grade serous ovarian cancer is a slow growing cancer that disproportionately affects young women.

Medical researchers have the knowledge and skills necessary to drastically improve survival of women with low grade serous ovarian cancer but they need your help to fund their research.

Cure Our Ovarian Cancer is a New Zealand registered charity that supports life-saving low grade serous ovarian cancer research. Aside from a small payment processing fee (when you donate by credit card) all of your donation will be used to fund the research of doctors and scientists working to find a cure for low grade serous ovarian cancer.

Thank you for your support.

Was operated for Stage 4B low grade serous ovarian cancer on 1 April this year. Have been told the cancer will definitely come back - its only a matter of time and luck. That this is a rare cancer for which not much research has been undertaken so far, there is no magic bullet discovered as yet though studies are underway. Realised the best I could do to help myself and others suffering from this is help fund research.

Dear Jane, I’ve been meaning to donate for awhile. You’re doing such amazing work to raise awareness of ovarian cancer. This is also a belated wedding gift, I heard it was beautiful. Hope you and Joe are enjoying newly married life. Natalie & Jono
