Annual Survivor and Volunteer Luncheon
Sunday, April 6, 11:30am-2:00pm
McMenamins Kennedy School
The luncheon celebrates the lives of ovarian cancer survivors and those who volunteer for our organization.
Note: we define "survivor" as any woman who has ever received an ovarian cancer diagnosis, whether she is N.E.D. (yeah!), in current treatment for a first-time diagnosis, or facing a recurrence.
Ovarian cancer survivors and volunteers are invited to attend free of charge. Guests are welcome to attend, and we ask that they pay a small fee for their lunch.
This year's speakers are Nora Larson and Phoebe Souza. They will present on living with the uncertainty of cancer: holding hope and fear.

Her career includes oncology social work at a cancer center in Portland, OR, and facilitating cancer care retreats in Washington.
