I’m Eva La Rue, the national spokesperson for the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition’s (NOCC) Break the Silence campaign. Ovarian cancer is a cause very close to my heart – both my grandmother and great-grandmother passed away from the disease. It is now my personal mission to help educate women about the symptoms and risk factors of ovarian cancer.
In the absence of a screening tool, women need to be vigilant about taking charge of their health by educating themselves and one another about ovarian cancer. This is an important step in NOCC’s quest to increase earlier diagnosis and overall survival rates of ovarian cancer.
Here’s how you can help! Click below to join the Eva’s Divas program and pledge to arm yourself with all the information you need to educate your girlfriends, mom, sisters, cousins, co-workers, and any other dynamic divas you know!
