Welcome competitors!
Thanks for joining The Battle 2018 –whether it’s your first time or you’re an experienced Battle-goer,
you’re in for a wonderful evening full of fun and team spirit.
1 in 22 Australian women will be diagnosed with gynaecological cancer. Just under half will die. Those
that don’t, face treatments that often leave lasting effects. We don’t just want these women to
survive their cancer, we want them to survive well.
The aim of this event is not only to raise funds for research into gynaecological cancer but also to
raise community awareness about this deadly disease.
Please use this information pack as a reference point for any questions you have. Be sure to visit our
Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/cherishwomenscancerfoundation and website for
updates in the lead up to, and at the event.
We really appreciate the hard work of all of our participants who have tirelessly raised funds for
this great event.
Finally, we thank our sponsors who are helping make this event a success.
