Read the latest words from key members of the Ovarian Cancer Canada community.
On this World Ovarian Cancer Day I’m experiencing a range of feelings and emotion.
To so many of you who’ve joined in our advocacy journey over the past four years, my heart beams with pride following today’s Federal Budget Announcement as I say: Thank you! Thank you for shining an unwavering, uncompromising, and unstoppable spotlight on the need for more ovarian cancer research funding in Canada. Today, the Government of Canada has taken steps to invest in needed research which will translate into scientific progress against this disease. This announcement makes an important commitment to women’s health and equity in health care – and it is a milestone made possible because of you.
My vision and hope for the futures of my three grand-daughters is that they will be able to go as far as they want to go in life, achieving all they want to achieve based on their own interests, passions, merits, and performance – and without gender having to be a barrier.
