Let Your Experience Inspire

Nearly half a million women have died from ovarian cancer over the past 40 years. Worldwide, over 314,000 will die this year, with more than 8.2 million women having died from ovarian cancer since 1993. 


Despite hope and promises of improved outcomes, those numbers remain approximately the same as when comedian and actress Gilda Radner (of Saturday Night Live fame) lost her life to ovarian cancer in May of 1989. A number of other notable personalities lost their lives too. Neither fame nor fortune could save them – but their stories were shared because they were widely recognized. 

 

Now, it’s your turn to share your story about your success in Defying Ovarian Cancer, or to honor the battle waged against the disease by a loved one.
