Emer Casey Fun Run<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Elena Karataeva, a PhD candidates and casual tutor at Monash Law,  will on May the 26th be doing a 10 km \u201cEmer Casey Fun Run\u201d at Monash  Clayton Campus that raises awareness and funds for ovarian cancer  research through the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. Emer Casey, an Irish  girl, died at the age of 28 after a very short battle with ovarian  cancer and Emer Casey Foundation was established in her honour.<\/p>\n<p>Ovarian cancer does not have an early diagnostic test, and as a  result, most of women are diagnosed at the advanced stages of it. More  importantly, one of the main risk factors is being a female in an  industrialized country, with a higher standard of living (see  http:\/\/www.ocrf.com.au\/about-ovarian-cancer\/symptoms\/ ). This means that  yourself (if you are a female), along with other loved ones around you  and the Australian female population are at risk.<\/p>\n<p>So, please, if you can, donate via the fundraising page <a href=\"http:\/\/www.run4ec.com.au\/fundraiser.php?id=390\">Together We Stand<\/a> and support her first fundraising effort.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">5.
