September Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month

Talk Peach is a registered New Zealand charity founded by and run by gynaecological cancer survivors.

1 New Zealander dies every day from 1 of the 5 gynaecological cancers, that's higher than our road toll.

“In 10 years, I don’t want to see nothing has changed, I can’t bear to see more and more New Zealanders dying of something they had never heard of, never knew the signs for, or that remains so under-resourced in all aspects of the disease. It breaks my heart over and over feeling like I got cancer that no one can talk about” -Tash Crosby Ovarian cancer survivor and Talk Peach Founder

We have to start having life-saving conversations about gynaecological health, staying silent is harming our communities. We desperately need Gynaecological Cancer Month to be as bold as other cancer awareness months.

Talk Peach are trying to raise $50,000 a mere fraction of what other health initiatives make but for us it's a start.

Our mission moving forward is to:

To educate the community on the signs and symptoms of the 5 gynaecological cancers to reduce late-stage diagnosis.

To provide information and support to all those diagnosed with gynaecological cancers.

To advocate for better funding into: education and awareness, research, clinical trials, access to medications, and better pathways to diagnostic testing.

Please help us put gynaecological cancer in the spotlight, support those diagnosed and save lives.
