Our Major Fundraising Event October 31 2012 Do you Dare to Care for an EGG for a Day ? or Have a purple mufti day at your school or workplace? We need your help to raise funds for Gynaecological Cancers! The Eggtober Foundation hopes you will join in the fun and help a very worthy cause. 
Gynaecological Cancers have a low public profile compared to other types of cancers and lag far behind for public awareness, prevention/control, public funding and private donation. Yet Gynaecological Cancers have very grim statistics. The five-year survival rate experienced by females diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 1999-2003 in NSW was 42% compared with 88% for female breast cancer. Known as the silent killer most ovarian cancers are not detected until an advanced stage, when prognosis is poor, hence the low survival rate. The Eggtober Foundation aims to help improve survival rates by; • Improving service delivery in the detection and treatment of Gynaecological Cancer, through the purchase of equipment and supplies thus assisting both Doctors and Patients in Australia, • Funding research into Gynaecological Cancer, • Promoting public awareness of Gynaecological Cancers. We are planning a 12 HOUR EGG-A-THON on October 28 2011.The Downloads page has a copy of the rules, sponsor forms, a poster, 'how to raise $500 in a week' and donation details for those not wanting to use the net. You can support us by Daring to Care for an Egg for 12 hours and have your family members, friends and work mates sponsor you by the hour. Even better, get them involved. Dare them to Care for an Egg too! It is so easy.  *Register at 'go fundraise'. *Spend between now and October 28 spreading the word and obtaining sponsors. • Egg (pun intended) others to join you in the Egg-A-Thon. • Choose your own egg out of your fridge (don’t cheat by boiling it! or using a fake egg). • Select your own time frame (no not bed time) say 7 am to 7 pm, or 8 am to 8 pm. The only rules are: • You must take the egg with you as if you were caring for a baby. • If you damage the egg within first 4 hours fine yourself $15. • If you damage the egg between 5 - 8 hours fine yourself $10. • If you damage the egg between 9 – 12 hours fine yourself $5.

We understand that you have a very busy lifestyle, that’s why we tried to keep the fundraiser simple but fun! We are confident that together with your network of family, friends and work/business contacts you will happily support this worthy cause. If you are uncertain as to whether you want to participate, if Caring for an Egg sounds like too much fun, feel free to have a purple themed MUFTI DAY, or simply donate and please pass on our website details to family and friends. If you are wondering how needy our cause is we urge you to click on Gynaecological Cancers and then click on the sealed section. We warn you now the images are graphic and may upset some viewers. However due to the insidious nature of some Gynaecological Cancers and their location deep within the pelvic area, some tumours can grow up to TEN kilograms before being removed by surgery. Have a look for yourself and understand our need to raise money to raise awareness in the community and improve survival rates for women with Gynaecological Cancers! Thanking you in anticipation of your assistance. The Team at Eggtober Share - your eggcellent photos
