From: Laura Crandall Brown Ovarian Cancer Foundation

Part of the mission of the Foundation is to raise awareness to the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer. Caught early, this disease can be treated but without this knowledge, so many are unaware of its presence.

If you are interested, please e-mail the webmaster or complete our online form. Your function does not have to be local to the Birmingham area as we are interested in spreading the word...
