I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2014 and am so lucky to have recently celebrated two years in remission! Since I started feeling better, I have been looking for a way to help other people going through the same thing and I finally found it. I am so excited to be able to raise money for something that’s very important to me by doing something I love – cycling!
On September 25, 2016, I will be participating in Wheel to Survive, a six hour indoor cycling event to raise money to help women batting ovarian cancer today and to provide research dollars for a cure. The best part is 100% of the money I raise will go directly to fund these programs.
This is why I ride:
One woman is diagnosed with ovarian cancer every 24 minutes. 22,000 women this year.
One woman dies from ovarian cancer every 37 minutes. 15,000 women this year.
Sadly, 70% of women diagnosed with ovarian cancer will die from the disease.
There is no reliable early detection test available for ovarian cancer.
Click here to show your support by making a donation to Lauren’s Wheel to Survive fundraising page, or register now to ride alongside Lauren and others as we fight to end ovarian cancer!
