Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month - Kate & Sue

-

"Kate lost her sister, Sue, to ovarian cancer seven years ago. She was in her mid-40s and working as a kindergarten teacher. Like too many women with her lethal condition, she had no symptoms.

In fact, by the time she was diagnosed and treated, doctors told her that her tumour could have been there for two or three years—the silent killer.

For Kate and Sue, ovarian cancer runs in the family. Their grandmother had died from it decades earlier. Now, Kate is taking part in the Silver Lining Ride to combine her passion for cycling with her determination to spread awareness."

OVARIAN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH

Last year Digga raised 99K for Ovarian Cancer Research! This is a very close cause to our heart as Digga suffered a big loss in June 2018, when Suzie Wright, our CEO and Managing Director, passed away after a long struggle with a rare form of ovarian cancer.

As a tribute to Suzie and with February being Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, every Friday during February we'd like to share with you stories from the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation (OCRF) about women, their journeys & battles through this terrible disease. While the OCRF work on numerous projects the results of the clinical trials of the early detection test is extremely positive. If you're anyway able to help this great work continue by donation any amount to the OCRF you'll be helping change the lives of thousands of people: www.ocrf.com.au

Sydney wide DNA Contract Services are a well-established company specialising in excavations, earthworks, haulage and sediment control and trusted by some of Australia’s biggest builders. They were contracted as part of a project with Channel 7’s Better Homes and Gardens to drill piers for a granny flat behind a house in Blacktown, NSW and decided the Digga PD6 Auger Drive unit was the tool for the job. Attached to their 5.5 tonne Hitachi excavator they were never going to have any problems and DNA told us the PD6 drilled through with ease. Alex Vella of DNA Contract Services commented: “I have been using Digga now for 2 years and will continue to do so.
