Young Soroptimist Club Launches First Podcast Series – Ovarian Cancer

SI Rangatahi Wellington has launched their first podcast
series, featuring conversations around ovarian cancer in New
Zealand. The release of the series in September aligns with
Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month.

Featured on
their podcast channel SI Chats, the Ovarian Cancer
Series is hosted by two SI Rangatahi Wellington members,
Madison Chamberlain and Jessica Black. Throughout the
four-part series Maddy and Jess chat with four amazing
women, learning more about ovarian cancer, what we can do to
support better outcomes for women who are diagnosed, and the
work that is already underway to do this.

Each episode
promises plenty of laughter alongside thought-provoking
stories and messages.

The first episode features Jane
Ludemann, founder of Cure Our Ovarian Cancer NZ, to chat
about the current ovarian cancer outcomes, as well as
research and advocacy work that is being done.

The
second features Tash Crosby founder of Talk Peach – a
gynaecological cancer charity, to talk about advocating for
your own health and how to support wāhine with ovarian
cancer.

In the third episode Pauline Blomfield,
founder of K9 Medical Detection, speaks to her mission to
improving health outcomes by using specially trained dog’s
in a clinically, controlled environment as an early
detection tool.

In the fourth episode, Miracle Marsh,
an amazing, young wāhine shares her own journey and battle
with ovarian cancer.

SI Rangatahi Wellington’s
President and podcast co-host Madison Chamberlain says “It
has been such a privilege to speak to these incredible women
and be trusted with such personal stories. In putting this
podcast out there we really hope women become more aware of
such a devastating disease”. While co-host Jessica Black
says “Hearing the stories and actions of these women has
been such a heart-warming experience. We’ve certainly
learnt a lot, and we’re excited to see the series spark
more conversations and actions around ovarian
cancer.”.

The SI Chats Podcast is available
on all major streaming platforms, such as Spotify, Apple
Podcasts and iHeartRadio.

SI Rangatahi Wellington has
been busy raising awareness and much needed funds for
ovarian cancer in line with SI Aotearoa New Zealand’s
National Project: Ovarian Cancer
Awareness.
