Today, one in five women in Canada will die from the disease and 3,000 women will be diagnosed this year. Survival rates have not changed for ovarian cancer in 60 years. Ovarian Cancer Canada is the only charity in Canada to direct all attention and fundraising towards improving and saving the lives of people with ovarian cancer. Held annually during Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month in September, this family-friendly event raises vital funds to power ovarian cancer research, provide education and resources, and fuel advocacy efforts across Canada.
