Nancy's sister was diagnosed with stage IV ovarian cancer when she was 36 years old. At the time, Nancy and her sister didn't know very much about this terrible disease.
They didn't know about the "silent" signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer.They did not know that early detection could have helped save her life.
That's why it is so important for us all to spread the word about this deadly disease — and how critical it is to recognize the warning signs and take action early.
NOCC is dedicated to raising awareness and promoting education about ovarian cancer — and we are committed to improving the survival rate and quality of life for women affected by this disease.
Nancy continues to honor her sister by bringing awareness and support to women and their families affected by ovarian cancer. Through Run/Walk to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer® events, she is helping to empower women to know the subtle symptoms and take early action.
Please join us to Break the Silence on Ovarian Cancer®. With your support, we can alert women to the early signs and symptoms — so they can have the best chance at survival.
