Cancer Council Victoria is calling on women from across the Geelong region to rally their friends and host a \u201cGirls\u2019 Night In\u201d event to support community members who have been diagnosed with a breast or gynaecological cancer. <\/p>\n

Between 2015 and 2017, 76 women from the Surf Coast Shire were diagnosed with a form of gynaecological cancer, which includes cervical, ovarian, vulva and uterine cancers. <\/p>\n

This year Cancer Council Victoria hopes to see 700 women host their own Girls\u2019 Night In, with proceeds to be directed to Cancer Council\u2019s work in research, prevention and support services for women\u2019s cancers. The 2019 fundraising target is $500,000. <\/p>\n

Cancer Council Victoria\u2019s head of community engagement Lyrian Fleming-Parsley said local women can get involved by registering to host an event and inviting their girlfriends over for a night in. <\/p>\n

She said the aim was to divert funds that would ordinarily be spent on a night out to the cause by opting to stay in instead. <\/p>\n

\u201cBreast and gynaecological cancers touch many lives in one form or another. Many of our mothers, our grandmas, daughters, sisters, and friends have been affected.<\/p>\n

\u201cHosting or attending a Girls\u2019 Night In event isn\u2019t only an opportunity to raise much-needed funds for women\u2019s cancers, it can also raise much-needed awareness about early detection and cancer prevention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Fleming-Parsley said about a third of cancers are preventable by implementing healthy lifestyle choices and taking part in the recommended screening programs for a person\u2019s age group. <\/p>\n

She also said advancements in prevention had increased the breast cancer survival rate amongst women, noting a 91 per cent survival rate for five years post-diagnosis. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe introduction of the human papilloma virus (HPV) vaccine, along with the National Cervical Screening Program, has resulted in cervical cancer being set to become eradicated in Australia by 2022. <\/p>\n

\u201cThese improvements are thanks to investment in research, prevention and support because of fundraisers like Girls\u2019 Night In.\u201d<\/p>\n
