My mother was a remarkable woman. She lived a life that most people couldn't, without complaint, praise or seeking recognition. She loved and appreciated simple things, whether it was sitting at the beach, baking or planting in her garden.

I miss her every day. There are many days when the loss is still too overwhelming. I never believed that in time, my memories would not bring me pain but actually a smile and a sense of comfort.

My mother taught me about strength, courage, love and perseverance. She fought her disease with dignity and grace. She never lost hope and for that reason I ask you to help support other woman who are facing challenges brought on by this devastating diagnosis.

All women struck by ovarian cancer deserve a voice, to feel valued and acknowledged for the women they are and the fight they endure.

Please help me support National Ovarian Cancer Coalition by making a contribution to my fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar I raise will advance National Ovarian Cancer Coalition's great cause! Additionally, you can ask me how you can get involved too.
Together, we can make a difference!
