Why do we need to raise money?

I'm obviously not a doctor. Or a medical researcher.

But I do have ovaries.

Currently, there is no early screening test for ovarian cancer, meaning that 80% of women are not diagnosed until the cancer has already spread. If we can catch the cancer early, women have a much better chance of survival. This is why we need to raise money for research.

Each day, I'll post another fact about ovarian cancer. There is also a list of helpful links on the left-hand side of the home page. If there is a link you would like me to add, please let me know.
