I always try to help women not to be so scared. My best medicine is laughter, so I spread that as much as I can. I’m very open about my journey, because every journey is different, but my story may help a woman get checked and be smart about their bodies and symptoms. I want other women to know that it is scary and an emotional rollercoaster, but that they are not alone in this. We are all a support system for each other, and totally understand the feelings and emotions that we all feel. Please listen to your body.

Sue's Gift was a godsend. We are retired military and extra money is hard to come by. Sue's Gift helped pay all the copays that come with health insurance."

Be Ovary Aware was a game changer...when I was feeling backed up against a wall and the outlook was grim, BOA provided me a reprieve to regain my balance---find friends to walk the walk with, cash to ease financial stress and a network of other helps and activities to light the way! It was the light in my darkness and now it helps me be a light to others!
