Ovarian Cancer Canada (OCC) and the Cancer Research Society (CRS) jointly announce the launch of the "Bridging the Gap for Ovarian Cancer Treatments Grants Competition".

The Peggy Truscott Award was created to honour outstanding volunteers who are making an impact in the ovarian cancer community, just like Peggy. We are excited to announce the 2023 recipients.

It is our time to evolve and disrupt the norm. Lives depend on it.

 It’s time to pick up the pace and improve outcomes for the 3,000 Canadian women a year diagnosed with ovarian cancer.

Beau’s 5K for Ovarian Cancer Canada is back on July 8 for its eighth consecutive year. This event is inspired by Ashley Courtois (Cowan), whose friends and family started this race when Ashley was diagnosed. The event started small and grew each year during Ashley’s journey which ended in 2018. To date, the event has raised over $288,000 in honour of her strength, spirit and love for running.

Ovarian Cancer Canada is filling a gap. We need to be here. And to reach this point, we’ve been working shoulder to shoulder with our community who have dedicated their time, effort, and hard-earned dollars to this cause.

In May, we invited community members in Quebec to gather for two very special evenings and make new connections with neighbours, community leaders, the Ovarian Cancer Canada team and researchers.

“Ovarian cancer is a terrible disease…we never gave up hope that she would survive it,” says John Buttimor, of Peterborough, Ontario.

Ovarian Cancer Canada and the Quebec-Clinical Research Organization in Cancer (Q-CROC) are teaming up to optimize the support available to women affected by ovarian cancer in Quebec.
