Ovarian Cancer affects one in every 55 women. That is why the Ovarian Cancer Coalition of Greater California is committed to raising awareness of ovarian cancer and its symptoms - symptoms so vague they're difficult to detect and often misdiagnosed. Our goal is to educate the general public as well as the medical community of the signs and symptoms of this disease, and to support research to help find an early detection method and a successful treatment. The Ovarian Cancer Coalition of Greater California is made up of non-paid Board members and volunteers. We sponsor health fairs, lectures, and newspaper, radio and television broadcasts to increase public awareness about ovarian cancer. The annual run/walk raises funds for research, education, and the promotion of early detection and prevention of ovarian cancer.
