Our mission is to normalise conversations about cancer within the diverse communities of Parkward, empowering residents to prevent cancer and advocate for their health.
Parkward is our home and we want to empower the community to help to prevent cancer from developing.
Today, you are 50% more likely to survive cancer than a decade ago, with some cancers having a 99% survival rate if detected early. By discussing cancer openly, recognising signs and symptoms, and confidently advocating for our health, we, the residents of Parkward, can beat cancer together.
