After Treatment, I have come to discover a group of women associated with Ovarian Cancer Canada, the Patient Partners in Research group. This Group has been in the forefront of advocacy, Education and advancing research. When I heard about them, I felt the need to be a part of the group. And I have been for over 2 years.

All of these experiences and people has helped me to craft my life quilt and and much as it has scared me and affected me, It has also made me appreciate the beauty in things I may have taken for granted. All those little pieces in my life has created an amazing Quilt. And I am thankful to be able to share it with the members of the Patient Partners in Research Team.

By fundraising in support of Ovarian Cancer Canada, I am standing hand-in-hand with the people experiencing, affected by, or at risk of the disease.

And I WILL NOT REST until women can live their lives freely, fully, and uninhibited by ovarian cancer.

My Fundraiser honours the lives of those who have been affected and demands action.

Proceeds support OCC, the only national charity dedicated to eradicating this disease. OCC is improving outcomes and changing the face of this disease – for good. And your donations will fuel vital research, advocacy efforts, and education.

Today, thousands of Canadian women are living with ovarian cancer. We know that ovarian cancer remains the most fatal women’s cancer in Canada and of the 3,000 women diagnosed annually more than half will not live 5 years past diagnosis. But we are on the cusp of breakthroughs that can change that.
