Frocktober Breakfast - Ovarian Cancer Fundraiser

A Morning of Health, Resilience & Impact

Join us for an exceptional breakfast at 1 Hotel Melbourne, where food is guided by nature — celebrating fresh, seasonal ingredients sourced from local Victorian farmers and producers, with a strong focus on nourishment and sustainability.

Over breakfast, we’ll hear from Robin Penty, CEO of the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation, on the progress being made in ovarian cancer research; Candice Hung, OCRF Ambassador and ovarian cancer survivor, sharing her deeply personal journey through diagnosis, treatment, recurrence and resilience; Dr Steven Lu, Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer of Everlab, on the rapidly evolving world of proactive and preventative healthcare; and Ryan Ogden and Mitch Barrow, sharing Ryan’s extraordinary journey rebuilding his life after three major strokes and multiple brain surgeries — and the coaching partnership that helped bring him back from the depths of suicide to now supporting others facing their own trauma.

Moderated by Julian Muldoon & Vera Ou-Young, the morning will explore health, prevention, resilience, trauma and recovery — and how research, proactive healthcare, human connection and the right support can help us navigate some of life’s greatest challenges.

Great food. Powerful stories. Meaningful conversation. All in support of the Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation.
