Why I'm raising funds....

In 2001, I lost my Mom to a long, difficult battle with ovarian cancer.  That was difficult enough in itself, but once I started doing some research, I realized that the chance of me being diagnosed was pretty high. But I found that unlike many other cancers, there is no early detection for ovarian cancer and there is no real form of prevention. Since symptoms often resemble other non-cancerous conditions, most patients are diagnosed when the cancer is in advanced stages.  The only hope we have is for more funding for research to continue the search for a reliable detection test and then prevention. 

So, I’m choosing to support Ovarian Cancer Research Fund by raising money with Team Hope and participating in the Esprit de She Triathlon in Naperville, IL.  Please help me meet my fundraising goal of $2,500.00 and fight against ovarian cancer.  

EVERY PENNY OF YOUR DONATION GOES TO OCRF.

Please look through the tabs above to find my fundraising ideas.

Thank you for supporting me and Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Your contribution is greatly appreciated.
