Sarah's Teal Wonder Women
What a year 2020 has been! This year, I want to honor and remember a couple of special Ovarian cancer Wonder Women in my life who I lost. My dear cousin Jean lost her battle, as did my special friend Betsy. I lost them both within weeks of each other. And I miss them and think of them every day.
I also want to honor all of the beautiful Wonder Women in my life who are still living their battle with Ovarian cancer every day. I am fortunate to be 4 years out and still going strong. I want that for everyone. I want to find a cure. I want to find early detection!
This more than ever, I'm hoping you will consider making a donation to this worthy cause. This is one of the few events MOCA is able to have this year due to the pandemic. Research funds are greatly needed. If you can give, please consider it. Any amount will help.
When you support the Minnesota Ovarian Cancer Alliance through registration or a donation to my HOM Teal Drive page, you help fund critical research and programming for women and families impacted by ovarian cancer.
Consider joining my team! Team members may drive their own vehicle or ride as passengers. Together, we’ll drive to make a difference against ovarian cancer on Saturday, September 12 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds.
Thank you for helping me change the course of ovarian cancer.
First MOCA Walk
This was my first MOCA walk. The following week I would begin my final round of chemo. Not sure how I made it through this day! Must have been all of the love and support!

Wonder Women!
With my fellow survivors - Melissa (who I met during our battle-and we became the best of friends) and Mita! So glad to have both of these women in my life - they are both wonder women in my eyes!
Mom
So thankful for all of the love and support from my mom (a breast cancer survivor) during all of my treatment. She dropped everything to come and help whenever I needed her. Jonathan and I are forever grateful.
Great friends
These two surprised me the very first year by coming to the walk. Barb and Sarah mean the world to me; so grateful for their love and support!
More Wonder Women!
This is a special picture. With our dear friend Betsy who is missed every day. (pictured on the right) Friends who met at a weekend seminar for ovarian cancer survivors - Jo (left), me, Donna and Betsy. And Chris! sitting just behind us. She had wanted to be there for that weekend too.
Jean
We met because we both had ovarian cancer. But we were bonded by being second cousins. It was a geniune bond at our first meeting. I will forever miss her and am thankful she was in my life; even if it was cut short. She is the original wonder woman and she is in my thoughts every day. I do this for her.
