Who Are We?
The New Zealand Gynaecological Cancer Foundation was established in May 2007, 12 months after the death of Leonie Coates from ovarian cancer on 22 May 2006. It was Leonie’s wish that a charitable trust be established to assist women like herself; to provide a network of support, information and education.
Our Mission
Our mission is to educate our community to raise awareness about all gynaecological cancers and support those affected.
Our Key Messages

- We will support you through your journey. The symptoms of gynaecological cancers differ, but anything out of the ordinary and persistent should be discussed with your doctor.
