Gifts to Jaz 2023
Hello everyone!
Thank you for stopping by for my sister’s birthday this year.
Last year we all raised $1,190 towards ovarian cancer research. Again, I cannot express how thankful I am for everyone’s donations and for spreading awarenss!
These are some highlights in research done over the past year!
Targeted treatment advances are being more tailored to treat an individual’s ovarian cancer differently at the patient to patient level. Link
Immunothereapy agents are being used to block cancer proteins from marking T cells. This helps tumor-fighting T cells become aware of cancer cells since there will no longer be proteins preventing cancer cells from being attacked by T cells.* Link
Statistical mortality rates by ovarian cancer are down 2.3% per year due to better therapy and more options for treatment! Link
Like last year, I am keeping up with tradition and donating again to ovarian cancer research and women’s cancer research.
Unlike last year, I am choosing not to ask for donations but instead asking for more shares— as awareness is as equally important.
If you wish to donate on your own, these are the places I have donated in the past years. Thank you for listening!
