World Ovarian Cancer Day is May 8th
We all have women in our lives who we love and cherish: our mothers, our daughters, our sisters, our friends. Every woman in the world is at risk of developing ovarian cancer, the most serious gynecologic cancer. World Ovarian Cancer Day provides an opportunity each year to raise the profile of this disease which takes the lives of 140,000 per year internationally. Join us in this global movement to ensure all the women we love know about ovarian cancer.
This year, we ask our community to sign a pledge committing to share information about ovarian cancer with five or more of your friends.Ìý. Your participation helps us build one voice for every woman on World Ovarian Cancer Day.
