It’s now been 5 years since my Mom was diagnosed.  She is currently receiving weekly chemotherapy treatments.  She is on a schedule of 3 weeks on, 1 week off.  Over the past 5 years she has had 4 lines of chemotherapy, over 35 treatments and counting.  She will continue to receive treatment at BC Cancer here in Vancouver.  

Funds raised will be used to fund vital research, spur advocacy efforts, and provide support so that we can help women with, or at risk of, ovarian cancer live fuller, better, longer lives.

There is still no reliable screening test for this disease,  and that is why it is almost always found at later stages.  Often with no signs or symptoms before diagnosis.  

The Walk celebrates the hope I carry with me every day – the hope for a future without this disease.

Please provide your support by giving generously. Better yet, if you are up for a challenge this September, come out and join us!  I invite you to join our team!

THANK YOU again to everyone who has continued to support my fundraising efforts over the last several years.

With love,

Shauna
