World Ovarian Cancer Day

On May 8, the world comes together to raise awareness of ovarian cancer and drive meaningful change for women everywhere. This year, the World Ovarian Cancer Coalition is building on that momentum – continuing global awareness efforts while launching a bold new social media campaign to make ovarian cancer impossible to ignore: ReachForTheScars

The Manja Gideon Foundation supports this campaign to empower action and drive impact in order to raise awareness for this insidious disease.

• Ovarian cancer is the most lethal of female cancers globally (source: WOCC)

• Ovarian cancer leaves scars – some visible, many invisible.

• Yet it’s still often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and not talked about enough.

Who can participate?

Everyone impacted by ovarian cancer is invited to take part, including survivors, previvors, those currently in treatment, caregivers, and advocates. Supporters, partners, and healthcare professionals are invited to stand with the ovarian cancer community and share their voices and experiences.
