CEO Elisabeth Baugh on why this year it’s more important than ever to show up for the next evolution of the Ovarian Cancer Canada Walk of Hope on Sunday, September 12. She recounts a few standout moments from her travels across the country over the years, and shares how it all started.
Spring often represents renewed hope and optimism. This year is no exception, as vaccinations to protect against COVID-19 bring us ever closer to a new normal. World Ovarian Cancer Day is on the horizon, and it’s a point of pride for me personally, as Chair of the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
With the pandemic continuing to dominate the headlines, I’m writing this with better news. As part of our community, you’re in a position of power. Because your support of Ovarian Cancer Canada is coming full circle.
While other organizations have had to cut back, we have been relentless in delivering progress on all fronts. Though our budget is as lean as ever, Ovarian Cancer Canada is championing the health and wellbeing of those affected by this disease and those at risk for it, while keeping the lab lights on at leading institutions across the country.
Thanks to your support, Ovarian Cancer Canada is standing strong as a beacon of hope for women and families across the country.
