“FEEL TEAL”
MUSIC TO OUR EARS

Research organisation making music!

The “Feel teal Friday” campaign was launched September 4th, 2009, but due to public-interest, has been extended until December 31st, 2009.
The first ‘online’ social media event of its kind, with the aim to
help support the need for ovarian cancer awareness and research, now working alongside musicians to make some more noise!

The Go Research Fund, legendary Songwriter/Producer/former bass-player/co-founder of “KC & the Sunshine band”& seven-time Grammy Award winner; Rick Finch, Awareness campaigner/author; Debbie Stevens, song lyricist, poet; Lance Toohey & Australian Rock/Pop musician; Anthony Snape and our friends at Flip Side To Music, have joined forces to raise awareness & funds, for Ovarian cancer-

The Go Research Fund vision, is to improve the health outcomes for women suffering from ovarian and gynaecological cancers and to increase community awareness of these diseases.
The Challenge - is to find a blood test that will allow all women to be screened for ovarian cancer and diagnosed while the disease is in its early stages.

Our Spokesman; Rick Finch, has generously offered to donate 50% of sales from his latest CD, "For All Reasons", which in turn will help fund the need for an early detection test for ovarian cancer.
We are encouraging the public to hop 'online' and purchase their own copy of Rick's album, which is available at http://cdbaby.com/cd/rfp

His album and various tracks, can be heard at his official website, http://www.rickfinch.com

“Let’s dance again” the track chosen as the event’s theme-see his video: “Feel teal and Dance again” for ovarian cancer awareness & research.

More on Ovarian cancer:

*Australia

Ovarian cancer doesn’t have a screening test. So it is vital that women are aware of the symptoms.

Ovarian cancer is often referred to as a silent killer because its symptoms can be vague and similar to the symptoms of many other conditions that can be part of everyday life.

Every woman will have experienced one or more of these symptoms at some stage. But if any of these symptoms are unusual for you and they persist, it is important to see your doctor.

UNITED STATES

    * One in 72 women will develop ovarian cancer (lifetime risk).
    * One in 95 women will die from ovarian cancer.3
    * A woman’s lifetime risk of developing ovarian cancer is 1.39 percent.
    * A woman’s risk of developing ovarian cancer and dying from it is 1.05 percent.

Survival and stage at diagnosis4

    * The overall five-year relative survival rate for all women with ovarian cancer is 46 percent. This means that compared to women in the general population, five years from the time of diagnosis only 46 percent of women with ovarian cancer are still alive.
    * However, the survival rate improves greatly to 93 percent if the cancer is diagnosed at an early stage before it has spread. Only 19 percent of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at this local stage.
    * Approximately 75 percent of ovarian cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage after the cancer has spread beyond the ovary.
    * The five-year survival rate for women with ovarian cancer has not significantly increased in the past 30 years—a mere 8 percent.
    * Women diagnosed with ovarian cancer from 1975 to 1979 experienced a five-year survival rate of approximately 38 percent. Today this rate is approximately 46 percent.

Ovarian cancer survival rates have not improved as significantly as those of some other cancers that affect primarily women. For example, women diagnosed with breast cancer from 1975 to 1979 experienced a five-year survival rate of 75 percent and today this rate is 89 percent.
