I had the good fortune to be staying at Marie -Louise\u2019s home with Anthea .she was a great support to me and we had some good laughs\u00a0\u2013\u00a0I can recall that went shopping as I had not realised how cold it would be in northern Europe and how wet we would get ! she helped me choose a coat which I still have . that day we returned to Marie\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Louise\u2019s \u00a0soaking wet \u00a0with clothes being hung everywhere to dry off&#8221; .<\/p>\n<p>Sue, &#8221;\u00a0It was due to Anthea being on a Soroptimist stall at a Mid Kent College multi cultural event in 1997 that I became a Soroptimist! She sold it to me well!\u00a0At the AGM when she became our President in 1998 there was a raffle. I remember her huge giggles when someone chose the raffle prize of a compact (used for ladies face powders) as it was your grandmother&#8217;s and she had lost it that evening and it ended up with the prizes! We laughed about it many times together because your grandmothers astonished face was a picture!\u00a0I also remember celebrating your mother&#8217;s 50th birthday with such fun in Holland where we the Soroptmists were on a trip for the 10 yearly flower festival called Floriade. She so enjoyed that evening and a few bottles were drunk!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">A woman dies from ovarian cancer every two hours, yet the diagnosis and treatment lags behind high profile diseases like prostate or breast cancer. <a href=\"http:\/\/ovarian.org.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ovarian Cancer Action<\/a> \u2013 a UK charity dedicated to beating the sixth most common cancer in women aims to empower women, to give them a voice, and to create a better future for the thousands of mothers, partners, sisters, daughters and friends affected by this disease.<\/p>\n<p>Join us to hear Ross Little from Ovarian Cancer Action giving a\u00a0talk to raise awareness.\u00a07.30pm Thursday 8<sup>th<\/sup> March at Holiday Inn Rochester, Maidstone Road, Chatham, Kent, Rochester\u00a0ME5 9SF<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sadly our friend and fellow Soroptimist, Anthea Parnell, has lost her battle with ovarian cancer&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":689,"featured_media":939,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[27,26,28],"class_list":["post-937","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news","tag-educate","tag-ovarian-cancer","tag-raising-awareness"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Ovarian Cancer Talk In Memory of Anthea | News | Blog | Events | SI Medway and Maidstone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Medway and Maidstone : Blog &amp; News : Ovarian Cancer Talk In Memory of Anthea : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Medway and Maidstone .
