Center for Women Announces Ovarian Cancer Outreach Program

The Center for Women will be announcing its new Lowcountry Women with Wings program, at 11 a.m. Wednesday, September 30.  The event will take place at Colonial Lake, at the intersection of Queen Street and Rutledge Avenue.             

Lowcountry Women with Wings provides online and individual, local resources for ovarian cancer patients, survivors and their families.  The goal of the program is to raise awareness of ovarian cancer by teaching the symptoms, demonstrating the urgent need for ovarian cancer testing and research and offering support to the women who have been diagnosed.              

The Lowcountry Women with Wings program was established by ovarian cancer patient Terry Scharstein who passed away in August 2008. Of the 20,000 women who are diagnosed every year 75% of them will be dead within 5 years.             

We are hoping to spread the word about the importance of ovarian cancer research and would love for you to attend!  For more information call 843-763-7333 or visit our website at www.LowcountryWomenWithWings.org.
