About three and a half years ago, my mother — also known as Omi, or Eva — was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.
This year, I’ll be running the Mighty Moose virtually, but that won’t stop me from fundraising — just like nothing has stopped my mother from fighting.
Thanks to the incredible care from Dana-Farber, my mom has been able to keep doing the things she loves: traveling, kayaking, swimming, and most importantly, laughing — even while rocking a crooked hat during chemo.
We remain hopeful that one day, there will be an early detection test for ovarian cancer. Until then, she continues her monthly treatments with courage, grace, and a great sense of humor. That kayak photo? Taken just days after a chemo session. And now, she’s looking forward to celebrating her 90th birthday this October.
Talk about saying F%#K cancer!
Thank you for supporting this cause — it means the world to me and my family
