Making Meaning and Sharing Your Ovarian Cancer Story Virtual Workshop

Living with cancer and even life after cancer as a patient or caregiver can be very difficult. One incredible way that many people deal with these struggles is to share their cancer story with others as a way to make a positive difference. Making meaning of the incredible physical and emotional challenges of cancer helps us cope and can really help others too!
This workshop will help you find the words to talk about how cancer has affected your life, and it will give you the tools to tell your story for different positive purposes. We'll explore educating others about ovarian cancer, sharing your story to drive fundraising, advocating for policy change, and other ways that your story and personal experience of cancer can help others.

DONATE TO MIOCA

We welcome donations in honor or memory of loved ones, or to sponsor a runner/walker.
