Media Release: 1 September 06 Prince Henry's wakes up to Sunrise Charismatic weatherman and Channel 7 personality Grant Denyer joined former Olympian Raelene Boyle and ovarian cancer patient Katia Kecse-Nagy for the launch of the 2006 NAB Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation’s Silver Ribbon campaign. The annual campaign kicked off with a bang in the Institute’s new state-of-the-art precinct building, with the Sunrise crew teaming with Prince Henry’s scientists to help raise vital funds for ovarian cancer research. Ovarian cancer claims the life of one Australian woman every ten hours. When diagnosed, the disease is usually well advanced and has spread to other parts of the body, decreasing chances of survival. The key to improving these alarming statistics is early detection. The NAB Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF), in collaboration with Prince Henry’s Institute, is working to find an early detection test for ovarian cancer. The Silver Ribbon Campaign, which runs from Monday 4 September to Friday 29 September, is one of the OCRF’s largest and most successful fundraising activities for ovarian cancer research. The $5 Silver Ribbon Lapel Pins are available for purchase from NAB branches across Australia until Friday 29 September. Ribbons are also sold at Witchery retail stores throughout the year. All funds raised from the sale of the ribbons go directly toward research into an early detection test for ovarian cancer. Donations can also be made at any NAB branch or online at www.ocrf.com.au
