🌟 In loving memory of my dearest aunt, Mirell a true warrior who fought with grace and strength against cancer for many years. You were not only my rock during my own battle, but a shining light of courage and love in my life. Your spirit and resilience continue to inspire me every day, and your absence is felt deeply. I miss your laughter, your wisdom, and your unwavering love. Though you may be gone, your memory lives on in the hearts of all who were touched by your kindness and warmth. May you rest in peace, free from pain and suffering. You will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will cherish the memories we shared forever. Until we meet again, my dear aunt. 🌸💕

Pauline Dance
Pauline is a mother of three, two daughters and a son, and lives in the regional community of Griffith, NSW. She taught primary school for 38 years and was a scout leader for 20 years. Pauline was diagnosed with stage 3C ovarian cancer with “a tumour the size of a coffee cup” at the age of 63 – her symptoms felt like a vaginal prolapse. Before her diagnosis, Pauline and her family had not heard of ovarian cancer. Like many women, Pauline believed a pap smear checked for all gynaecological cancers. Pauline has always been an active community member and is committed to raising awareness of ovarian cancer. Her mission now is to encourage women to notice potential symptoms and get checked if something doesn’t feel right. https://www.anzgog.org.au/on-the-down-low/ ... With immensely heavy hearts we share our resilient and inspiring wife, mum and nan, Pauline Dance passed away from ovarian cancer. Pauline calls the last few years a journey, never a fight. Her journey is now complete. We celebrate a selfless, joyous and full life, packed into a too-short timeline. We continue her legacy of generosity and education. 💜Jeff, Pauline, Andrew, Mari, Billy, Lily, Hamish, Jenny, Gary, Oscar, Patrick, Alison and Bryce. Mum wanted to do the Mother's Day classic in Canberra well before her ovarian cancer diagnosis and when the event soley fundraised for ovarian cancer. Mother's Day is my birthday and I wish we could do this in person together xx

I’m doing this for my beautiful friend Candace who was diagnosed last year with stage 3c ovarian cancer at the age of just 33. This was after months and months of having her pain ignored and misdiagnosed. I’m so inspired by your strength - keep fighting x
In memory of Thelma Eather, our beautiful mum.

To those who endured diagnosis and prognosis during isolation of covid and to those friends and family who endured it either side of covid - this walk is for you and us 🫶🏻
In loving memory of my beautiful sister, Claire, who lost her battle with ovarian cancer in 2014. You are loved so deeply, and we miss you more than words can say. You have gone way too soon; I still have so many conversations to have. I will be thinking to you today as always, wish you could be walking beside me. Love you.
